Toronto is in for a very huge treat as Mirvish Productions present four-time Tony-winning Musical THE OUTSIDERS! While many of us have seen Francis Coppola’s 1983 film or read S.E. Hinton‘s novel on which this is based, be ready to be floored by this latest incarnation. It runs June 17 to July 16, 2026 at the Princess of Wales Theatre, feeling almost too short a stay.

The Musical explores a turf war between The Socs and The Greasers in Tulsa, Oklahoma in the ’60s. At the heart of the story is Ponyboy Curtis (Nolan White), who is navigating young adulthood as a 14-year-old, while with his brothers Darrel (Travis Roy Rogers) and Sodapop (Corbin Drew Ross), are coping with the loss of their parents. It is through a feud between the two gangs, that Ponyboy finds himself divided from his brothers, before ultimately leading him on a path to helping find himself.

The stage production is incredible. Never before have I seen choreography so beautifully paired with lighting and effects in the way it is so innovatively done here. This young Ensemble Cast are brilliant, and I was so affected by it all! THE OUTSIDERS cannot be missed! Tickets are on-sale now at Mrivish.com.

Some highlights from the Toronto Premiere:

Pictures Canada celebrating the highly anticipated upoming release of Supergirl, starring Milly Alcock and Jason Momoa. Towering 50 feet above the water, the stunt brings movie magic into the real world, reimagining Toronto’s Harbourfront as the stage for a larger- than-life DC rescue mission.

Fans can witness Supergirl and Krypto mid-flight as the installation sails along the Harbour and Lakeshore. The vessel will also be docked at 207 Queens Quay West during the below times.

Quote from Saweetie: “There’s a psychological edge to the world of Bet that immediately brought me in and the character instantly called to me. The fact it’s rooted in manga, this Japanese storytelling tradition that’s been shaping street culture and fashion for years, is what sealed it. Bet, like me, doesn’t play it safe.”

Minions & Monsters is directed by Academy Award® nominee Pierre Coffin, a director of the first three Despicable Me films and the first Minions film. Coffin has also provided the voice for the Minions since their film debut in 2010. The film is written by Brian Lynch (Minions, The Secret Life of Pets films) and Pierre Coffin and is produced by Illumination’s Academy Award® nominated founder and CEO Chris Meledandri and by Bill Ryan (executive producer, The Super Mario Bros. Movie). The executive producer is Brian Lynch.

More than ten years after their creation, the Minions have become the most iconic animated characters of their generation. Globally recognized and beloved by fans of all ages, they have propelled Illumination’s Despicable Me and Minions to a global box office of more than $5.6 billion.
