Mirvish Theatre鈥檚 newly announced 2020鈥�2021 season includes the North American premiere of & Juliet, the pop-heavy jukebox musical currently playing London鈥檚 West End.

The show, a re-imagining of Shakespeare鈥檚 star-crossed heroine as she takes control of her fate, features a book by David West Read and Max Martin songs made famous by the likes of Britney Spears, the Backstreet Boys, Katy Perry, and Kelly Clarkson. Performances will begin in February 2021 at the Toronto venue.

Prior to & Juliet鈥檚 North American bow, Mirvish鈥檚 main season will begin this September with the Canadian premiere of David Haid鈥檚 Pressure, starring Downton Abbey alum Kevin Doyle. Two Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals will follow: the 50th anniversary production of Jesus Christ Superstar and the Canadian premiere of Love Never Dies.

Rounding out the main lineup are the tour of the Tony-winning revival of Oklahoma! and Chichester Festival鈥檚 adaptation of Murder on the Orient Express.

Three shows comprise the season's "Off-Mirvish" offerings: Andrew Bovell's Things I Know to Be True, Broadway alum Jake Epstein's autobiographical Boy Falls From the Sky, and Mythic, a new musical about Persephone and Hades.

Mirvish is also behind the upcoming Toronto stops of the Miss Saigon and Les Mis茅rables tours, and will host the Harry Potter and the Cursed Child at the Ed Mirvish Theatre beginning in October. Meanwhile, Come From Away continues its run at Mirvish鈥檚 Royal Alexandra Theatre.
