On April 21, Brampton On Stage will present Re-Imagined: A Theatre Concert — The Greatest Showmen: A Pasek & Paul Playlist, a concert filled with the uplifting melodies of Benj Pasek and Justin Paul.
Pasek and Paul are the Oscar, Grammy, and Tony Award-winning composers behind stage shows Dear Evan Hansen, A Christmas Story: The Musical, Dogfight, James and the Giant Peach, and Edges, as well as the film The Greatest Showman and the television show Lyle, Lyle, Crocodile. They also contributed to the scores of La La Land, Only Murders in the Building, and Aladdin (2019), and served as producers on Broadway’s A Strange Loop.
Curated by Darryn de Souza and performed by a dynamic four-piece band, the tribute concert will feature a cast of stellar singers led by Elysia Cruz and Julia Pulo, currently starring in Mirvish’s Six. Robert Markus, who received Dora and Toronto Theatre Critics’ Award nominations for playing Dear Evan Hansen’s titular role in Toronto, will also make an appearance in the revue, along with Dave McDougall.
Tickets range from $20 – $29.
Re-Imagined: A Theatre Concert — The Greatest Showmen: A Pasek & Paul Playlist plays Brampton’s Lester B. Pearson Theatre on April 21. Tickets are available here.

Why Paul Gross thinks Waiting for Godot is ‘one of the great achievements of human creativity’
“The audience is with you. You bring them in. There isn't a big division between the stage and the audience,” says Gross, currently playing Vladimir in Waiting for Godot at the Stratford Festival. “They’re the final piece of the storytelling. We need them to complete the circle.”

REVIEW: An homage to Richard Foreman commands us to change our lives — and our theatre
Richard Foreman's plays usually drew on his personal journals and clocked in around 70 minutes; when he passed away last year at the age of 87, he left behind an invitation for directors to create royalty-free work from those journals. With the recently closed You Must Change Your Life at Toronto’s Alumnae Theatre, creator-director Ilana Khanin took up that offer to ludic, collage-like effect.
