The Rainbow Stage’s ticket system crashed for the first time as Manitobans rushed to purchase tickets for the upcoming 2025 season.
“Tickets went on sale on Monday, December 2nd, and for the first time in our history, our ticket system crashed,” says Artistic Director Carson Nattrass, who was blown away by the enthusiasm. “We were like, we are not Taylor Swift, but we felt like it for a morning because we had never experienced anything like that.”
The 71st theatrical season, which was teased about for months, comes with the announcement of the much-anticipated stage adaptation of Frozen, the jukebox musical Rock of Ages, the return of the Winnipeg-made vampire rom-com Afterlight, and following the success of MA-BUHAY! A New Musical, a new commission of the Christmas classic A Christmas Carol, now with a Manitoban twist.
