As BC’s capital city, Victoria feels like a small town with all the attractions of the big city. Featuring a tight-knit artistic community, Victoria is a great place to see live theatre! Here are some upcoming shows we’re excited to see.
 

MUSTARD

An important and entertaining play from one of Canada’s most promising playwrights, Mustard won playwright Kat Sandler the Dora Mavor Moore Award for Outstanding New Play in 2016. It tells the story of 16-year-old Thai, a girl who deals with the difficulties of life by still having an imaginary friend named Mustard. Funny, tender, and provocative, this is a wonderful piece of theatre that crowds everywhere love! You can catch it at The Royal Theatre from October 20 to November 25!
 

THE MIKADO

Gilbert and Sullivan are in many ways the creators of what we now call “The Musical,” combining fun and unforgettable song numbers combined with colourful and entertaining stories! Their classic The Mikado is one of their best, a hilarious fusion of British culture and Japanese folklore that has tickled audiences for nearly a century and a half! You can catch it in Victoria November 2-4 at the Dave Dunnet Theatre in Oak Bay and November 9-11 at the Charlie White Theatre in Sidney.
 

SWAN LAKE

Now, this is something really special – the Moscow Ballet is touring the world with a stunning production of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake! These are world-class dancers performing one of the most timeless pieces ever created. Whether you’re a long-time fan of ballet or think you don’t care for it, this is the kind of production that will leave you stunned with its beauty and majesty. The New York Times raves that this version is “brimful with feeling” – don’t miss out on your opportunity to catch it on November 12 at The Royal Theatre!

Whether you’re exploring Victoria’s theatre scene, the beautiful sights of Vancouver Island or Victoria’s vibrant downtown core, you’ll find outstanding accommodations at the Days Inn Victoria on The Harbour! Our unbeatable waterfront location provides easy access to the city’s biggest attractions, and we’re pet-friendly! Book your room today for an unforgettable stay.
