NEWS ITEM: Mooo-ving performance

David Mirvish got the scoop on St. Patrick's Day Tuesday when he announced a limited Toronto engagement of HOW NOW MRS. BROWN COW at the Canon Theatre from Aug. 17 through 21.

Originally created for radio by Brendan O'Carroll, the fictitious and comic Dubliner Agnes Brown and her six children have captured the hearts of an international audience as they moved from triumph to triumph across the multi-media spectrum — radio, print, movies, stage plays, television (BBC1 TV premieres its new series later this year) and even on You Tube, where it appears they have attracted quite a Canadian following.

All of which has apparently prompted O'Carroll, who also plays the title character, to choose Toronto as the site of his North American stage debut.

Not surprisingly, tickets for this limited run, priced from $25 to $75, go on sale today at www.mirvish,com — and a Happy St. Patrick's Day to you, too.
