Theatre
Canada's theatre capital is split between Toronto (Mirvish, Stratford, Shaw, Soulpepper) and Montreal (TNM, Théâtre Jean-Duceppe, Place des Arts, Espace Go). Out west, Citadel Theatre in Edmonton and Arts Club Theatre in Vancouver carry anglo-Canadian creation. Musicals (Hamilton, Wicked, Lion King) tour mainly to Toronto via Mirvish. For francophone theatre, Montreal and Quebec City dominate. Spectaculos also lists theatre festivals — Festival TransAmériques, Magnetic North, Push — where new forms emerge.
