January 30-March 3, 2013

A co-production with Factory Theatre.

Having sold-out its extended run at Vancouver’s PuSh Festival in Jan 2012, this original musical by Veda Hille & Bill Richardson sets actual Craigslist postings to music in a 90 minute song-cycle. Both hilarious and surprisingly poignant, Do You Want What I Have Got? explores contemporary humanity through the lens of Craigslist—an online classified site with over 50 million ads posted each month.

A hilarious, quirky, touching and tuneful show… This could be Canadian musical theatre’s next killer app.

- J. Kelly Nestruck, Globe and Mail

Offbeat and entertaining, with a refreshingly high sophistication in the writing… What you get are a series of actual Craigslist postings which Hille has set to some delightfully tuneful music.

- Richard Ouzounian, Toronto Star

Monica Dottor’s choreography is lively and imaginative with inspired directorial touches by Amiel Gladstone… The ensemble is across-the-board terrific.

- Glenn Sumi, NOW Magazine

A whimsical, wistful portrait of desire in the internet age.

One of the most imaginative Canadian musicals to come along in decades!

Fast paced, beautifully staged… this musical has something for everyone.

A blissful musical destination to observe all things beguiling and bizarre… Delightfully silly and enourmously entertaining.

Let your imagination run rampant!
