Lord of the Rings First Preview Now Set for February 4 in Toronto

The first preview performance of the stage adaptation of THE LORD OF THE RINGS will now take place on Saturday, February 4, 2006 at the Princess of Wales Theatre in Toronto. This will be two days later than originally announced.

"After four years of planning we are so close to delivering, to its first audience, a show we will all be extremely proud of," producer Kevin Wallace explains. "We had every expectation of putting this together in 17 weeks of rehearsal, including five full weeks of on-stage rehearsals. However, the process is going to take an additional 48 hours, and regrettably that means the first two scheduled preview performances will be moved and the first performance will now be on Saturday February 4th."

Although the first two originally scheduled performances will not take place, the schedule for all other performances will be unaffected, except for an additional performance on Thursday, March 2, 2006 at 7:00 PM. The gala opening night will take place on Thursday, March 23, 2006 at 6:30 PM.
