“After a two-year hiatus as a result of the pandemic, we couldn’t be more excited to welcome back our cherished TUTS community to Malkin Bowl, carrying on the annual tradition of spectacular theatre in our magical outdoor setting,” said Roberge in a release.
Something Rotten! transports audiences back in time to witness the birth of the world’s first musical. Set in the streets of Elizabethan England, the production is filled with hilarious moments and colourful song-and-dance numbers that poke fun at everything that fans love about Broadway.
Three-time Jessie Richardson Award-winner Rachel Peake is directing TUTS’ Something Rotten! See if you can spot the melodic and choreographic references to iconic musicals such as West Side Story, South Pacific, and Les MisĂ©rables during the show.

Those needing more rock and roll in their theatre experience will want to make plans for We Will Rock You. Set 300 years in the future, the musical tells the story of two misfits, Galileo and Scaramouche, fighting for freedom against the sinister leader Killer Queen.
The jukebox musical features over 20 hits from Queen’s timeless songbook, including “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “We Are the Champions,” and “Another One Bites the Dust.” We Will Rock You is directed by Saccha Dennis, who performed on the first US national tour of the show and was most recently seen on stage in the hit musical Come From Away.
TUTS’ two-show subscription packs are on sale until May 18, and early bird single tickets go on sale starting on May 24. For more information and to purchase, visit tuts.ca.
