Rose

In the idyllic mountain town of Somewhere, everyone knows exactly who they are and what their place is. Except for Rose. Rose is different, and she knows it. Rose has big questions about the world around her, and embarks on the adventure of a lifetime to find the answers for herself. From Sarah Wilson and Mike Ross comes an inspiring and joyful musical about acceptance, love, and finding your own path, even when that path isn’t what you thought it would be.

“Choreographer Monica Dottor and costume designer Alexandra Lord do a good job of filling the stage with motion and colour. Lord’s designs are very fun - from the 70s leotards worn by the couple who run the town’s local gym to the surprisingly sexy outfits worn by the lions.” - J. Kelly Nestruck, The Globe and Mail, Jan 25 2019

“Alexandra Lord’s costumes were spectacular, playful and evocative.” - Megan Mooney, Mooney on Theatre, Jan 25, 2019

“Lorenzo Savoini’s set, lighting and projection design beautifully reflect the pale pink and blue palette that Stein demanded be used for the published book (blue ink on pink pages), complete with a backing band with matching pink instruments and tuxedos (James Smith, Adam Warner and Scott Hunter). The whimsical atmosphere Savoini creates, along with Alexandra Lord’s bright monochromatic costumes, suits the absurdity of Stein’s story itself.” - Carly Maga, The Toronto Star, Jan 24, 2019
