One of the most acclaimed musicals of the century is returning to Vancouver.
Since it opened on Broadway in 2011, The Book of Mormon has been showered with praise and awards. Beginning Sept 25 and running until Sept 30, the show returns to the Queen Elizabeth Theatre, where it played to packed houses in 2016.

Warm temperatures, bright blazing sunshine—that can only mean one thing in Vancouver: film noir season!
Next month, Cinematheque presents its annual programme of movies from the golden age (mostly) of Hollywood crime stories. We’ll have a post with more details on Monday.
Meanwhile, a group of committed local (and some out-of-town) actors, actresses and stage technicians are presenting City of Angels. It’s a Tony Award-winning stage musical with original songs and a book by professional wiseacre Larry Gelbart (M*A*S*H, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum). The Vancouver production of the musical, which first hit Broadway in 1989, stars veterans of television, movies and theatre, and opens at Performance Works on Granville Island on July 8. It runs until July 17.
