If I weren't going to be in Europe during CFA's run in Victoria, I would already have my tickets.

A quick look shows a decent amount sold. But still tickets left for every show. Not much main front though.

Seems pretty good for a series of performances 7+ months hence.

Indeed that price might not be a winner here.

Steve-O at the Royal next month still has tickets and it’s cheaper and he’s known to get fully nude on stage.

Guaranteed everyone involved has a loud aftermarket muffler installed on their beater.

I wonder which guy looked at which guy the wrong way to set this off? Maybe it was over the Canucks?

The hit Broadway musical about the real life actions of townsfolk from Gander, Newfoundland, during the Sept. 11 attacks was originally scheduled for 16 performances May 10 through May 21. Approximately 20,000 tickets have been sold to date — a substantial amount given that full capacity for a performance at the Royal Theatre is 1,471 seats.

The addition of matinees on May 17-23 and 24, along with a nighttime performance on May 23, now brings the show count to 20.

Victoria theatre-goers can catch a broadway production without travelling to New York City when Come From Away brings its national tour to town this spring for a limited engagement.

The Canadian Tony Award-winning musical is set to take the stage at the Royal Theatre on Broughton Street from May 10 to 21, 2023, according to Broadway In Victoria.

The company, established to bring broadway productions to B.C.’s capital, says it’s thrilled to announce its return to live theatre with Come From Away.

This will sell out very quickly.



Was I right? Partially maybe.

Mid-week matinees is pretty impressive. The promoter says 8% of Victoria will see it. That’s impressive. If that math checks out.

Come From Away is supposed to be a rather charming show. I will only have just returned from Europe the day before the final performance, so jetlag will likely prevent me from seeing it.

They have done well for a Victoria show. Don't know of anyone who claims to have bought tickets though and next to nothing on the secondary market.

I really don’t know what’s wrong with the Victoria secondary market. Ticketmaster not operating here might be part of the problem.

Jet lag coming back isn’t very bad, buy the tickets.

I can account for 6 tickets.
