THE OOPS!...WE DID IT AGAIN SEASON
A LARGER-THAN-LIFE SEASON OF 7 SPECTACULAR MUSICALS:
MJ: THE MUSICAL
TELL TALE HARBOUR
& JULIET
SOME LIKE IT HOT
SHUCKED
A BEAUTIFUL NOISE: THE NEIL DIAMOND MUSICAL
THE OUTSIDERS
The 2025/26 MAIN SUBSCRIPTION SEASON is made up of seven productions, all musicals.
Four are Canadian premieres, two are Toronto premieres and one is a brand-new sit-down Canadian production of an international smash hit.
David Mirvish said: “Each subscription season is a work in progress for many years, and this coming season is an especially wonderful one.
“From Canada’s east coast we have the uproarious new musical comedy TELL TALE HARBOUR, starring Alan Doyle.
“From Broadway comes MJ: THE MUSICAL, a thrilling work of music, dance and drama that looks at a pivotal moment in Michael Jackson’s remarkable artistic career – when he was creating the 1992 ‘Dangerous’ concert tour.
“Next, we bring back one of the most popular shows we’ve ever presented, the joyous & JULIET, which had its North American premiere with us in 2022 for too short a run, before taking Broadway by storm. People have been asking us about bringing it back ever since it left, and we’re thrilled to welcome it back for a sit-down production.”
Hannah Mirvish added: “In the new year we have a quartet of Broadway hits from the last two years – all of them Canadian premieres.
“SOME LIKE IT HOT is a sizzling musical adaptation of one of the funniest movies of all time.
“SHUCKED is a riotous and original new musical about one of the most unusual topics — corn. But don’t be fooled; it’s really a traditional romance with a happy ending, like all great musical comedies.
“A BEAUTIFUL NOISE: THE NEIL DIAMOND MUSICAL, is, as the title says, the true story of one of popular music’s icons.
“THE OUTSIDERS is the winner of 2024 Tony Award for Best Musical. This thrilling new musical tells a story of friendship, family belonging and the realization that there is still good in the world.
“Of course, none of this can happen without our subscribers. They are the core of our audience. We can never thank them enough.
“As always, subscribers have first choice of seats at the absolute best prices. You can see all seven shows from $309.
“And, in honour of & JULIET, we are calling this the Oops!...We Did It Again season.”
The Off-Mirvish Season will be announced soon.

TORONTO PREMIERE
TELL TALE HARBOUR
Based on the screenplay The Grand Seduction by Ken Scott
Co-written by and starring Alan Doyle
Co-created by Adam Brazier, Bob Foster and Edward Riche
SEPTEMBER - OCTOBER 2025
Deep in the heart of Atlantic Canada sits a small but proud harbour eager to keep its community together. With the sudden closing of their precious fish plant, this once bountiful village is looking for a miracle. When an opportunity arises to secure a state-of-the-art frozen french fry factory — and the many jobs it would create — the entire community is galvanized into action.
There’s just one major obstacle — to secure the factory, the harbour must have a full-time resident doctor. Realizing this might be their last chance to save their beloved home, the townspeople come together to spin the truth and put on a show to charm an interim doctor into moving there permanently.
Co-written by, and starring Great Big Sea’s music icon, Alan Doyle, TELL TALE HARBOUR is packed with all the songs and laughs we expect from the best East Coast kitchen party. It is as relatable as it is ridiculous, as hilarious as it is heartfelt, and celebrates the people, the trials, and the triumphs of living in a small town on the edge of the mighty Atlantic Ocean.
Based on the screenplay The Grand Seduction by Ken Scott, and co-created by Adam Brazier, Bob Foster, and Edward Riche, TELL TALE HARBOUR makes its Toronto debut after a smash-hit sell-out run at Confederation Centre of the Arts in Charlottetown, PEI.
