At the crumbling but historic Aristocrat theatre, Shine Mionne and her chosen family of sexpots and misfits struggle to save the theatre from imminent gentrification in the guise of smooth-talking money man Richard Suit. Along the way Frankie, the newbie actor from out of town, and Grace, the dimpled graduate student who can't seem to keep her clothes on, are drawn into the vortex of life at The Aristocrat by a diva named Lulu. As Suit and Shine fight for control of the show, Lulu finds her leading-lady status jeopardized by Suit's meddling and a series of whirlwind affairs threatens to throw the impending opening into chaos.

Winner of a Vancouver Ovation Award for “Outstanding New Work”, SHINE is a tassel-twirling original musical about an infamous burlesque theatre and the family of talented misfits who try to save it from demolition… or worse, respectability.

“Hands down more goosebumps per minute than any other show! It’s ‘RENT’ for our generation. The music is Broadway caliber. If it doesn’t go on to a longer run, there is no God.”  -Time Out New York    [MORE REVIEWS]
