The Slakadeliqs Live @ Cafe Awtash, Toronto, ON - Fri May 11th!


A true artist is not defined by a single genre, but rather by the body of sounds he creates. Influenced by artists such as Lenny Kravitz, Neil Young, The Zombies, Jimmy Cliff and The Beatles, The Slakadeliqs is the result of Juno winning front man, Byram “Slakah the Beatchild” Joseph's efforts to create something truly unique, timeless and genreless; something vastly different from his previous body of work which was released on the legendary BBE label (Will.i.am, J-Dilla, Pete Rock).

The Slakadeliqs have beautifully balanced a mixture of genres ranging from the 60's right through to the other side of tomorrow and a stage show which captivates audiences from beginning to end! The 5-piece band packs an arsenal of cellos, vintage synths, acoustic guitars and glockenspiels. The Slakadeliqs exudes a perfect symmetry between humility and confident showmanship, taking audiences on a magical musical journey.

This magical musical experience is one many have continued to revisit with The Slakadeliqs’ debut album, The Other Side of Tomorrow. Released on January 17, 2012, the album climbed to the number one selling album position on bandcamp within 12 hours of its release. As it holds its ground as the number one selling Indie album on Bandcamp, The Other Side of Tomorrow continues to receive praise from artists such as Drake and DJ Jazzy Jeff calling it "...one of the best albums I've ever heard...", and rave reviews from media around the globe:

“Almost every track is a triumph of purebred songwriting. It isn’t exaggeration that I invoke Simon and Garfunkel. This is the real thing. (…) Indeed, the closest comparison I can draw is with some of Lenny Kravitz’ work from the 90′s. But that’s not quite right because this is better than anything Lenny Kravitz ever did, by far.”
-TorontoArm

“The Other Side Of Tomorrow is truly a four year culmination of Slakah’s musical genius. (…) Slakah has finally found a vessel to channel his immense and indescribable talent.”

The Shipment @ Enwave Theatre, Harbourfront Centre, Toronto, ON - Wed May 9th - Sat May 12th!


THE SHIPMENT

Young Jean Lee’s Theater Company (United States)

Young Jean Lee, a rising star of American theatre, dissects what it means to be black in America in this hilarious and shocking play. Brazenly theatrical and transcendentally lyrical, THE SHIPMENT moves from the urban dreams of would-be rappers to the sitcom realism of yuppie domesticity, proving that nothing is ever as it seems. With an ending guaranteed to leave jaws hanging, this is contemporary theatre at its biggest, boldest and most daring.

DANCAP PRODUCTIONS presents
the Grammy Award-Winning Broadway Smash Hit
WEST SIDE STORY
Tickets On Sale now @ dancaptickets.com

More than fifty years ago one musical changed the theatre forever! From the first note to the final breath, this new Broadway production of WEST SIDE STORY soars again as the greatest love story of all time. Dancap Productions presents the first national tour of the smash hit Broadway revival of WEST SIDE STORY beginning May 8, at the Toronto Centre for the Arts.  Tickets on sale Saturday, February 25 at dancaptickets.com.

"West Side Story is a classic Broadway show" exclaimed Aubrey Dan, President Dancap Productions. "From its spectacular score to the legendary choreography and timeless love story, this is theatre at its finest.  I am thrilled to be presenting Arthur Laurents' original, beautiful and colourful Broadway revival of West Side Story in Toronto; a truly captivating theatre experience."

WEST SIDE STORY is written by three theatrical luminaries: two-time Tony Award-winner Arthur Laurents (book) and multiple Tony and Grammy Award-winners Leonard Bernstein (music) and Stephen Sondheim (lyrics) in his Broadway debut.  The score is a stream of standards that include "Tonight," "I Feel Pretty" and "Somewhere".

Tony Award-winning librettist Arthur Laurents' Broadway direction is recreated for the tour by David Saint, the Associate Director on Broadway, and the original Jerome Robbins choreography is reproduced by Tony Award-nominee Joey McKneely. The new Broadway cast album of WEST SIDE STORY won the 2010 Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album.

Bring it On: The Musical @ Ed Mirvish Theatre, Toronto, ON - Tues May 8th - Sun Jun 3rd!

BRING IT ON: THE MUSICAL is the explosive new musical comedy that raises the stakes on over-the-top team rivalries. Set against the world of competitive cheerleading, this powerhouse new show hilariously proves that winning isn't everything when it means losing something - or someone - you really care about.


BRING IT ON: THE MUSICAL unites some of the freshest and funniest creative minds on Broadway, including Tony Award®-winning writer Jeff Whitty (Avenue Q); Tony Award®-winning composer Lin-Manuel Miranda (In The Heights); Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award®-winning composer Tom Kitt (Next to Normal) and lyricist Amanda Green (High Fidelity); Tony Award®-winning orchestrator Alex Lacamoire (Wicked); and Tony Award®-winning director/choreographer Andy Blankenbuehler (In The Heights).

BRING IT ON: THE MUSICAL is produced by Universal Pictures Stage Productions/Glenn Ross; Beacon Communications/Armyan Bernstein and Charlie Lyons; and Kristin Caskey and Mike Isaacson, Executive Producers. Beacon and Universal have partnered over the past decade to produce the popular series of "Bring It On" films.

This all new, original musical comedy combines an exciting new sound, gravity-defying choreography, and a thrilling story to create a show worth cheering for. It's "guaranteed to be everything you wished for, nothing like you expected, but exactly what you will love" (AOL.com). Game On!
