BrokenSexDollTheCultchIf you missed the hilarious sci-fi musical comedy at The Cultch last year, you really missed one hell of a show. You are in luck though, you get another chance to see this show at The York Theatre starting on November 12th.  Broken Sex Doll is set in 2136 when an ordinary man wakes up from a routine implant upgrade surgery, he discovers he has unexpected sensory skills and a crush on his mysterious nurse, Ginger. After ‘uploading’ an intimate encounter for an amateur “feelie” contest, he becomes the next big star in the world’s bizarre sex industry, only to discover love in the most unexpected place. Broken Sex Doll is a wild ride in the world of advanced technology, moral degradation and, of course, love.  Tickets for Broken Sex Doll start at $19 and are available from The Cultch. The show runs until November 22nd.  Come on out and see for yourself why this is one wild ride, you won’t be disappointed.

4 Nov

Urinetown The Musical credit David Cooper 3The Firehall Arts Centre takes on environmental disaster, water shortages and big corporations with the absurd and outrageous Broadway hit Urinetown: The Musical. Opening night kicks off Wednesday, November 5th with a new production of this Tony award winning musical. It is the biggest show the theatre has staged. It will feature 16 of Vancouver’s most talented performers, 5 musicians and we hear laugh out loud humour. The show first appeared as a New York Fringe production in 2001 before moving to Off-Broadway and went on to become a Broadway hit.

Urinetown: The Musical is set in a future in which drastic water shortages and a large corporation with a monopoly on all toilets force citizens have to pay for the privilege to pee.  The show will feature an amazing cast including Proud star, Andrew Wheeler, David Adams who is a Jessie Award veteran, playwright and performer Meghan Gardiner of Dissolve, Tracey Power, creator of Chelsea Hotel and Anton Lipovetsky a Bard on the Beach actor and Broken Sex Doll composer to name but a few of the performers. Tickets for Urinetown: The Musical are available from $21 to $42 and can be purchased online at Firehall Arts Centre. For those on a budget there will be a Pay What You Can Show on Wednesday, November 5th at 1:00 p.m.

What people are are saying about Urinetown:

Everybody’s going to want to see this show. Go with the flow.” – Georgia Straight

‘a tiny, perfect taste of Broadway” – Vancouver Sun
