The Stratford Festival 2023 playbill is a HIT!.

I’ve collected all the Stratford Festival reviews and created a handy list of the shows, along with the very informative house programs, below.

Highlights of the Stratford Festival 2023 Playbill Include:

• Broadway’s original Anne Boelyn from the musical “Six,” Andrea Macasaet, takes on the role of Mimi in “Rent.”
• Director, actor Paul Gross returns to the Stratford stage for the first time in 23 years as the titular character in “King Lear.”
• 2022 breakout star Amaka Umeh returns as Rosaline in “Love’s Labour’s Lost.”
• Antoni Cimolino directs “Grand Magic” starring Geraint Wyn Davies, Sarah Orenstein and Gordon S. Miller.

Two New Plays

• “Frankenstein Revived:” A movement-based show that promises to be a spectacle to the eye.
• “Casey and Diana:” The true story of Princess Diana’s 1991 visit to Toronto HIV hospice The Casey House.
