Chelsea Hotel: The Songs of Leonard Cohen has entertained audiences out west since its Vancouver debut in in 2012, and this February sees its Toronto premiere at Theatre Passe Muraille. The two-act musical begins in a paper-strewn room of the Chelsea Hotel, as a young Cohenesque character (Jonathan Gould) struggles with the writing process, haunted by memories and visions.

Adam Brazier introduced Theatre 20′s inaugural production of Winnipeg playwright Joseph Aragon’s Bloodless: The Trial of Burke and Hare at the Panasonic Theatre on Thursday night, almost two years after he announced the launch of the Toronto-based, artist-led musical theatre company on the very same stage. Producing a new Canadian musical is no easy task, yet, judging by the fine collective effort put forth by the cast and creative team, the struggle has finally paid off.
