    A WHOLE NEW WORLD OF MUSIC IS COMING TO COLLINGWOOD!

    Sharing is SO MUCH APPRECIATED!

     

    Hello Theatre Lovers!

    I am beyond thrilled to invite you to a truly magical event happening this May—an unforgettable evening that celebrates one of the most beloved composers of our time: Alan Menken.

    Theatre Collingwood presents:

    A WHOLE NEW WORLD – THE MUSICAL MAGIC OF ALAN MENKEN

    Conceived & Directed by Adrian Marchuk

    Musical Arrangements by Chris Tsujiuchi

    Musical Direction by Jacqueline Sadler

    Featuring Thom Allison, Ma-Anne Dionisio, Kelly Holiff & Matthew Joseph

    May 15th & 16th at 7:30 PM

    New Life Church, Collingwood

    If you grew up singing the songs from The Little Mermaid, Beauty and the Beast, Aladdin, Newsies, or Little Shop of Horrors, then this show is going to sweep you off your feet. If you are not familiar with the music…you will still be swept off your feet by the talent on the stage!

    Alan Menken is a living legend, with eight Academy Awards—more than any other living person—plus Grammys, Golden Globes, a Tony, and generations of devoted fans who know every word to every song. His music has become the soundtrack to our lives. To learn more about this fascinating man check out his bio on his website HERE.

    I’m especially proud to be working with Adrian Marchuk again, the brilliant creator behind this show. Many of you joined us in February 2024 for his moving and masterful production of Any Dream Will Do – the Music of Andrew Lloyd Webber, and I’ve had the great pleasure of working with Adrian for years as he’s developed his series of shows that celebrate the composers who shaped musical theatre history. He blends storytelling, education, and powerful music in a way that always leaves audiences inspired—and a little teary-eyed (in the best way!).

    And just wait until you hear the phenomenal cast Adrian has assembled for this show…
