David Mirvish News

Producer David Mirvish announced on Sunday that the Toronto run of Dirty Dancing, the Classic Story on Stage was to end after 582 performances on March 29th. The show recouped its costs back in December and has been running at a profit since then, and Variety reports that the closing has as much to do with the soft economy as with the need to open the theatre for other upcoming Mirvish productions.

Two entertainment industry charities: The Toronto-based Actors' Fund of Canada and New York-based Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS (BC/EFA)are able to increase their service to the community by a total of $63,000 this winter courtesy of audiences attending Toronto performances of A Chorus Line during the last two weeks of November. The show was presented by Mirvish Productions at the Canon Theatre.
