About the event
Choreography and Book by Adam Martino & Anibal Ortega
In the smoke-choked backrooms of 1920s Toronto, where jazz and bootleg liquor flow like an untamed river, Alexandre Dumas’ The Man in the Iron Mask is reborn as a Prohibition-era musical. Twin brothers - one, a ruthless crime lord draped in silk and sin; the other, a prisoner lost in the underbelly of King St - are bound by fate and a secret buried in blood. As speakeasy ballads and brass-fueled anthems drive the tale, a band of aging gangsters, once the city’s kings, unite for one last job: a coup against tyranny. Justice and jazz collide in a high-stakes battle where the mask must fall.
