The War of 1812

Morgan Cranny—MTYP – Mainstage

This is reprisal of last year’s hit, with new bits, so don’t hesitate to see it a second time, as I did. There is plenty new to entertain. You just can’t lose with the veteran, mega talented cast of Wes Borg (3 Dead Trolls), Mike Delamont (God is a Scottish Dead Queen), Morgan Cranny, and Rod Peter Jr. Under the premise of Pierre Burton endeavoring to educate grade 8 student Wes as to why he should be proud to be Canadian, much sweaty, silly, musical hilarity ensues. Non-stop action with an anything goes attitude, multimedia, improv on the fly, and rollicking, musical fun. Delamont, as a coy, huge, horny Laura Secord was a favorite of mine. This is going to be selling out again, so do what you need to do to treat yourself.
