North American Premiere of Rob Roy - The Musical
Rob Roy The Musical, a new musical based on the legendary Scottish hero from the late 17th and early 18th centuries, will make its Canadian premiere at Toronto’s Elgin Theatre (189 Yonge Street) from March 24 to April 19, 2009. The Opening Night performance is Thursday, March 26 at 8:00 p.m. Tickets to Rob Roy The Musical go on sale December 20.
Rob Roy The Musical celebrates the adventures of one of the best known heroes in Scottish history. Set in Scotland and England during the first half of the 18th Century, Rob Roy The Musical tells the tale of the famous Highlander from his days as a peaceful clan leader through his difficulties with the abrasive Duke of Montrose. Rob Roy MacGregor is branded as an outlaw due to a business transaction which bore all the signs of a set-up. This all took place at a pivotal time in Scottish history, when the Scots hoped to finally break free from England and follow what they believed was their true destiny. Rob Roy in his flight from the law was captured many times yet always managed to escape thus becoming a hero to the Scots.
Rob Roy The Musical is directed by Tony Award™ winner Len Cariou, with book, music and lyrics by David Warrack. George Masswohl stars in the title role, with Stephanie Roth as his wife Mary, and David Dunbar as Rob Roy’s nemesis the Duke of Montrose...
