Production Year – 2017

Get ready to have your heart uplifted by Canada’s favourite red-haired heroine, Anne Shirley as she takes to the stage at Victoria Hall!

Matthew Cuthbert expects to pick up an orphan boy to help on the farm. But at the train station, he discovers that there has been a mistake and instead he is charmed by a talkative, imaginative, spunky girl; Anne Shirley. The quiet town of Avonlea will never be the same as they join Anne on her many misadventures!

This musical originated at the Charlottetown Festival on Prince Edward Island, where it holds the record for the world’s longest running annual production with 52 successive seasons. It’s success is due in part to ballads like “I Can’t Find the Words”, charming love songs like “Wondrin’”, energetic dances and a story that will delight the whole family!
