News Talk 770 presents THE BIG BOOM THEORY at Jubilations Dinner Theatre!

Sheldon has been a genius since he was born. He attended college at the age of 11 and has a stunning IQ of 187 (that's good). But unfortunately he's never gotten the proper admiration for his gifts... until now. Sheldon has been nominated for a Canadian International Science Award. Unfortunately Dr. Amy Farrah Fowler is nominated for the same award, and only one can take home the prize. Amy may be a woman of science, but she most certainly doesn't play fair. But beware, for every action there is an equal and opposite reaction. It's an all out battle of the brains, to prove once and for all who is the smartest. As if that weren't enough, Leonard is going to ask Penny to marry him! Plus, there may or may not be an impending nuclear disaster threatening to destroy the world as we know it. All your favorite nerds are here helping Sheldon navigate his way through Canada. With plenty of Bazinga's to go around, this is one Science Award Ceremony you won't want to miss.

Broadway Across Canada is launching their 2013 - 2014 Season with hit Broadway shows such as “Les Miserables”, “War Horse” and “West Side Story ”!

Les Miserables – National Tour: Cameron Mackintosh presents a brand new 25th anniversary production of Boublil & Schönberg’s legendary musical, Les Misérables, with glorious new staging and dazzlingly reimagined scenery inspired by the paintings of Victor Hugo. This new production has been acclaimed by critics, fans and new audiences and is breaking box office records wherever it goes. The New York Times calls this Les Misérables “an unquestionably spectacular production from start to finish.” The London Times hails the new show “a five-star hit, astonishingly powerful.”

  War Horse— National Tour: A remarkable tale of courage, loyalty and friendship. England, 1914. As World War One begins, Joey, young Albert’s beloved horse, is sold to the cavalry and shipped from England to France. He’s soon caught up in enemy fire, and fate takes him on an extraordinary journey, serving on both sides before finding himself alone in no man’s land. But Albert cannot forget Joey and, still not old enough to enlist, he embarks on a treacherous mission to find him and bring him home. This powerfully moving and imaginative drama, filled with stirring music and songs, is a show of phenomenal inventiveness that is currently playing to packed houses in London and New York. At its heart are astonishing life-sized puppets created by South Africa’s Handspring Puppet Company, that bring to life breathing, galloping, charging horses strong enough for men to ride.

 West Side Story — National Tour: More than fifty years ago one musical changed theater forever. Now it's back, and mesmerizing audiences once again. From the first note to the final breath, West Side Story soars as the greatest love story of all time. Directed by David Saint, using Tony Award-winning librettist Arthur Laurents’ Broadway direction, West Side Story remains as powerful, poignant and timely as ever. The new Broadway cast album of West Side Story recently won the 2010 Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album. The Bernstein and Sondheim score is considered to be one of Broadway's finest and features such classics of the American musical theatre as "Something's Coming," "Tonight," "America," "I Feel Pretty" and "Somewhere."
