GROW - A New Canadian Musical

London/Toronto, CANADA - Folks all over were eagerly anticipating the opening of Grow (Book-Matt Murray; Music-Colleen Dauncey; Lyrics-Akiva Romer Segal) at the Grand Theatre in London, ON. This was a show with BUZZ, having been developed at the prestigious Canadian Music Theatre Project and the Goodspeed Festival of New Musicals, and it sadly had to be postponed. Thats why we were so thrilled when the team made this video for The Social Distancing Festival (video credit- Fred Miller III). Check out The One I Choose, sung by composer Colleen Dauncey.

From book writer Matt Murray:

GROW is a musical comedy about the unbreakable bonds of family... and weed. 

Before they are baptized into their faith forever, twin sisters Hannah and Ruth go on Rumspringa – a hall pass for Amish teenagers – to explore the modern world. When the sisters find themselves stranded in a rough Toronto neighbourhood, their beliefs are tested as they team up with a down-on-his-luck cannabis dealer to help run his illegal grow-op.

Grow was slated to start rehearsals for it's world premiere at the Grand Theatre in London Ontario on March 23rd, and officially open on April 17th. The show was to run until May 2nd. 

Grow was developed as part of Sheridan College's Canadian Music Theatre Project and the Goodspeed Festival of New Musicals, and is produced by Michael Rubinoff (Come From Away).
