We didn’t know what to expect from this post-pandemic world in September, 2022.
Days before tickets went on sale for COME FROM AWAY, we wondered:
1. Would anyone be interested in the Performing Arts now?
2. Who will buy tickets for a show 7 1/2 months in advance?
3. Would COME FROM AWAY still resonate with people?
The answers, respectively:
1. Yup.
2. Uh, lots - Record-setting numbers.
3. Four shows added to a sold out run.
The entire run was such
a memorable experience.
Thank you, Victoria!
A few stories from 2012:
Facebook went
public, the London Olympics were everywhere, and MAMMA MIA! was the first Broadway musical to
perform in Victoria. Hard to believe, isn't it?
Over the past 11-years Broadway in Victoria brought an exciting array of musicials that
showcase the Performing Arts at its best. We continue to work hard to bring some of Broadway's
best to
entertain the people of Victoria and Vancouver Island.
