and DEAN PAUL GIBSON (Vigil, The Drowsy Chaperone)
A co-production with the Vancouver Playhouse
Welcome
to San Francisco’s renowned Tosca Cafe, where imagination flows like
wine and memories waltz through the swinging doors. In this stunning
blend of dance and theatre, almost a century of history, from
Prohibition to the WiFi generation, is beautifully choreographed to a
musical score ranging from Puccini to Hendrix. The company of actors and
dancers includes stars of the Canadian smash-hit The Overcoat, in a
production that has been hailed by critics as "smart, sexy and wild" and
simply "phenomenal.”
We partner
for the first time with an American company on this fresh new piece of
dance theatre. I was at the world premiere in San Francisco last year
and I jumped to my feet and cheered—like the rest of the sold out crowd.
Be transported to one of my favourite cities for an evening of pure
joy. – Dennis
