The Arts Club Theatre Company production of Kimberly Akimbo runs from April 2 to May 3, 2026, at the Stanley BFL CANADA Stage. Directed by Arts Club Theatre Company Artistic Director Ashlie Corcoran, this Tony Award–winning musical by David Lindsay-Abaire and Jeanine Tesori is a heartfelt and hilarious coming-of-age story that celebrates resilience, hope, and humour. On the eve of her 16th birthday, Kimberly Levaco (Lisa Horner) is navigating all the usual challenges of a typical teenager—first crushes, family drama, and a new school. She just also happens to look like she’s 72 years old. Despite her rare genetic condition, Kimberly is determined to make the best of her fresh start. As she struggles with a chaotic home life, the uncertainties of new friendships, and a budding romance, Kimberly decides to make the most of the time she has and embarks on a great adventure to find the happiness she craves. Winner of five Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, and Best Original Score, Kimberly Akimbo blends sharp wit with profound heart. Lindsay-Abaire’s quick-witted storytelling paired with Tesori’s catchy and emotionally rich score create a memorable musical that is both laugh-out-loud funny and quietly moving. The production begins at the Stanley BFL CANADA Stage on April 2 and runs until May 3, with opening night on April 8.

True Story

La Bohème has FIVE performances at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre in Vancouver Vancouver Opera’s blockbuster 2025-2026 season culminates in April and May with five performances of Giacomo Puccini’s beloved La Bohème at the Queen Elizabeth Theatre. One of opera’s most cherished works, La Bohème’s passion, heartbreak, and soaring melodies will close the season on an unforgettable high note, both artistically and at the box office. As of today, La Bohème is the fastest selling show in VO history, on pace to sell out all five performances! Set in the Latin Quarter of Paris, La Bohème follows a group of young artists struggling to survive, create, and fall in love. At its heart is the tender and tragic romance between the poet Rodolfo and the ailing seamstress Mimì, a simple story that has resonated since its 1896 premiere and directly inspired more recent works like the Broadway musical RENT. From the playful camaraderie of bohemian life to the devastating beauty of its final act, Puccini’s score bursts with some of the most recognizable and emotionally resonant music ever written, conducted here by Vancouver Opera’s Music Director Emeritus, Maestro Jonathan Darlington, with an all-star cast steered by director Brenna Corner. A true and transcendent masterpiece, La Bohème’s deeply human story, sweeping arias, intimate duets, and vivid orchestration continues to captivate seasoned opera lovers, while arguably offering the best and most memorable experience for first-time attendees. Want to open someone’s heart to opera? La Bohème can convince the unsure, and convert even the staunchest detractors. The principal cast for La Bohème includes Jonelle Sills as Mimì (April 25, April 30, May 2), alternating with Lucia Cesaroni (April 26, May 3), Matthew White (April 25, April 30, May 2) as Rodolfo, alternating with Zachary Rioux (April 26, May 3), Gregory Dahl as Marcello, Lara Ciekiewicz as Musetta, Alex Halliday as Colline, Justin Welsh as Schaunard, and Thomas Goerz as Benoit/Alcindoro. They are joined by members of the Vancouver Opera Chorus. Tickets are on sale now for La Bohème and are selling fast. Subscriptions for the 2026-2027 season are also available.
