The Mirvish organization has announced three new shows for their Toronto theatres, including a substitution for one of the shows originally programed for their current subscription season.

Replacing next summer’s subscription season-ending run of the Menier Chocolate Company’s acclaimed West End revival of SWEET CHARITY will be the Canadian premiere of WISHFUL DRINKING, created and performed by Carrie Fisher, under the direction of Tony Taccone. WISHFUL DRINKING will run at the Princess of Wales, July 12 - Aug. 21, 2011.

Additionally, the Mirvish organization announced Tuesday that the Canon Theatre will play host to THE ONE-MAN HIT PARADE, the latest show from impressionist/comedian André-Philippe Gagnon for five shows only (Dec. 1 - 5), while THE MAN IN BLACK, a tribute to Johnny Cash starring Shawn Barker, will play the Panasonic Theatre Feb. 15 - 27, 2011.

Tickets for the latter two shows are available at 416-872-1212.
