March 17, Sun at 2:00 PM and 7:30 PM
On March 17th, Saint Patrick's Day itself, the Royal has struck gold (well, a pot-o'-gold) at the end of the rainbow with a genuine leprechaun! LOL! Okay, I'm teasing... but Steve Kennedy is bringing his warmth, charm, and love of all things Celtic to the Royal with two different shows! The first will focus on a younger audience, so be sure to bring your kids to this matinee performance at 2:00 pm. Steve said that a discussion about Unicorns will be in order! Then, at 7:30 pm, Steve settles into his repertoire of favourite Celtic songs that have made him a favourite with audiences.
Grab the whole family and join us for a day, or evening of pure fun for everyone.

MAY PERFORMANCES
When a philandering shoe manufacturing tycoon's faithless wife is crushed to death by a Steinway Grand Piano, a shadow is cast over an unhappy household. Twenty years later, the family's grown children, lovers, and assorted servants, staff, and a police inspector too, all find themselves locked inside the house anticipating a celebrated burglar, when things take a very sinister turn for the worse! There would seem to be scores to settle and debts to be paid... and definitely, there is murder afoot! This madcap murder-mystery spoof will keep you laughing and guessing, then second-guessing yourself right to the last minute!




Singing songs from the traditions of multiple countries and in multiple languages as well as their own artfully constructed material, Fiddlehead Soup does an incredible job of making the difficult look not only effortless, but fun!

SEPTEMBER PERFORMANCES
For over half a century, Andrew Lloyd Webber's music have dazzled audiences. He has composed 13 musicals, a song cycle, a set of variations, two film scores, and a Latin Requiem Mass. Several of his songs have been widely recorded and were hits outside of their parent musicals, notably "The Music of the Night" and "All I Ask of You" from The Phantom of the Opera, "I Don't Know How to Love Him" from Jesus Christ Superstar, "Don't Cry for Me, Argentina" from Evita, "Any Dream Will Do" from Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat and "Memory" from Cats. In 2001 The New York Times referred to him as "the most commercially successful composer in history". Ranked the "fifth most powerful person in British culture" by The Daily Telegraph in 2008, the lyricist Don Black stated "Andrew more or less single-handedly reinvented the musical."
In celebration of The Lord Lloyd-Webber's music, Zac Mansfield has put together a new revue show featuring all of your favourite songs....plus some more obscure gems from Andrew's lesser-known shows.
This tribute concert is produced and conceived by Zac Mansfield and was originally commissioned by the Mansfield's Cabaret in Oshawa. This touring version replicates what the sold-out crowds in Oshawa fell in love with so much.
Starring the original cast: Julia Carrer, Mathew Edmondson, and Amanda Bradley.
"Sing, my angel of music!"

[release September 3] which is seated somewhere between upbeat party tunes and beautiful folk storytelling to creative re-imaginings of traditional favourites.

Set your event apart - be prepared to dance and sing along to some of the best party music ever made. Period.
