Well, it came to Toronto with strong government and business support only after the suitable London theatres were not available, although now Toronto looks a bit like an entire preview run. It is a huge production. The Princess of Wales theatre has something over 35 stage elevators just to handle the sets.

It is sad for the theatre and arts community here. It would have been great for local actors, dancers, everyone in theatre here, had the show been successful. I suppose I'll be seeing Wicked this fall now instead. And then there's an incredible production of The Magic Flute, presented in baroque style dance and staging... oh, sorry, off topic...

I did see a fabulous Hobbit here at a children's theatre, but that wasn't a musical.
