They join the season's opener, a stage adaptation of Yann Martel's novel-turned-film “Life of Pi,” the return of ABBA-fuelled favourite “Mamma Mia” and the previously announced open-ended run of “The Lion King.”
A seventh as-yet-announced title will be added to the season at a future date.
Toronto will be the only Canadian stop for “Life of Pi,” which has garnered much critical and audience acclaim for its elaborate use of large-scale puppetry.
Mirvish says its off-season will be announced in April.
