Hamilton, ON, Sept 9, 2016 – There’s nothing like the thrill of a first date...anything can happen! In the smash-hit play Blind Date, you’ll experience all the exhilaration and excitement of new love as Mimi goes on a blind date with a different man every night - plucked right out of the audience! Direct from critically acclaimed, sold-out runs in New York, Toronto, and London’s West End, this fast and funny fusion of improvisation, theatre, and social experiment is sure to make you fall in love with Mimi and celebrate her audience-member-turned-Romantic-Hero! Blind Date is hailed by the New York Times as “fearless…and very funny.” The Guardian said, “★★★★ The concept is bullet proof.” Called, “A flight of theatrical fancy that is absolutely magical” by the Toronto Star, Blind Date is the perfect date night or evening out with friends—an “irresistible, cheeky and charming evening” (New York Daily News) that men and women alike adore. This must-see hit show is “the perfect marriage of theatre and comedy,” (Now Magazine). Don’t miss it!
Blind Date was created by Rebecca Northan and stars Christy Bruce as Mimi. Also appearing are Tess Degenstein, Kristian Reimer and a different willing gentleman from the audience every night of the run! Part improv, part clown, it’s never the same show twice!
Blind Date will run from September 21 – October 8th , 2016, with performances from Tuesdays – Saturdays at 8pm, and Saturday and Sunday matinees at 2pm. Tickets range from $30 - $75.
