A new holiday musical is coming to The Winter Garden Theatre in Toronto
From Tuesday, December 5 to Sunday, December 31, 2023, ring in the holiday season at Toronto’s stunning, historic Winter Garden Theatre with the world premiere of Chris, Mrs.: A New Holiday Musical. Produced by Boldly Productions, this holiday musical adventure features a cast of talented Canadian actors, starring Liam Tobin (Book of Mormon, Broadway; Beautiful: The Carole King Musical, Broadway 1st National Tour; Spamalot, Stratford) and Danielle Wade (Mean Girls, Broadway; The Music Man, Stratford), with an original score and story written by married couple Katie Kerr and Matt Stodolak. Chris, Mrs. is the perfect holiday experience for families, friends, couples and groups.
About the musical
Chris, Mrs. is a heart-warming musical about the Chris family, where the everyday collides with the enchanted. Our story begins in the city, where festiveless father Ben Chris leverages his late parents’ lodge in exchange for a promotion. The only problem is, his brother Charlie still runs it. Ben reluctantly decides to head there to convince him to sell, packing up his socialite girlfriend Vicki and his children – teenage daughter Claire and troublemaking twins Samuel and Samantha.
After discovering a ring in their father’s suitcase, the twins write to Santa for assistance, which seems to appear in the form of Holly, a seasonal employee at the lodge. Between Charlie’s nostalgic nature and Holly’s Christmas cheer, it soon becomes a holiday no one will forget.
Full of mischief and mistletoe, twisted ankles and tangled heartstrings, Chris, Mrs. is a heart-warming story that will make you laugh — bound to become a holiday musical tradition for the whole family!
