The 2026-2027 theatre season officially begins for many of Toronto’s professional performance companies this month. Here are some of my most-anticipated shows of October. SON OF A PREACHERMAN by Ins Choi “Bursting with warmth, wit, and musical flair, Choi takes audiences on an intimate and engaging journey through stories of faith, creativity, and life as the only son of a Korean church pastor. Blending spoken word, storytelling, and live music performed by a three-piece band, this one-of-a-kind performance moves effortlessly between laughter and reflection, and stays with you long after the curtain falls.” COSI FAN TUTTE by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart “Drawing from the opera’s subtitle (“The School for Lovers”), acclaimed Canadian film and stage director Atom Egoyan reimagines the opera’s 18th-century setting as a private school science lab, where love becomes an experiment and the classroom becomes a playground for temptation. This outlandish comedy offers a wicked insight into the follies of romance, shimmers with elegance, wit, and warmth, and leaves us with one lingering question: when it comes to love, how ready are we to be put to the test?” WEST SIDE STORY by Arthur Laurents and Stephen Sondheim “Originally conceived to tell the story of the intersect of Jews and the Christians, West Side Story morphed into the reimagining of Romeo and Juliet. This tragic story follows Tony and Maria — two young lovers caught between rival gangs in New York City. Their story unfolds with passion and urgency in a world divided by fear, prejudice, and the search for belonging. Created by Jewish artists Leonard Bernstein, Stephen Sondheim, Arthur Laurents, and Jerome Robbins, the musical reflects a deep understanding of the immigrant experience and what it means to be an outsider. In this concert staging, the music takes centre stage—powerful, timeless, and more resonant than ever.” DANCER: A MUSICAL IN TEN FURLONGS by Jim Betts “Dancer is the triumphant story of Northern Dancer, the horse nobody wanted but who overcame doubt, injury, and history to become the first Canadian-bred horse to win the Kentucky Derby, in 1964. And he won it in record time! After retirem

You MUST see the giant boat that I wore for this number. I’ll find the pic and post soon! #opera #operasinger #classicalmusic #baroque #toronto
