Leonard Cohen’s words and songs are heading back to a Toronto stage. After several sold-out engagements in Toronto and Montreal, Soulpepper’s critically acclaimed tribute “The Secret Chord” transfers to the CAA Theatre for a limited summer run, presented by David and Hannah Mirvish. It plays July 8 through August 9 at 651 Yonge St, just south of Bloor.
The show tells the story of Cohen’s life, often called the bard of Montreal, an artist who constantly reinvented himself across a long career and helped generations of fans make sense of the changing world around them. It draws on Cohen’s own words and bold arrangements of his iconic songs to celebrate his extraordinary life, music, and poetry.
The Montreal Gazette called it “part concert, part theatre, entirely magical,” and that balance sits at the heart of the production. “The Secret Chord” was created by Frank Cox-O’Connell, Marni Jackson, and Mike Ross, with Cox-O’Connell directing. Performers will be announced at a later date.
