Disclaimer
This is a page in progress dedicated to listing, and linking to, the people and shows that have played an important part in the history and development of the Musical Theatre in Canada. 

The lists and choices are being compiled by Jim Betts, a Canadian Musical Theatre writer and producer, and are based on his own personal choices, attitudes and experience.

This is not meant to be a definitive collection, but I hope the page will continue to add writers and shows as time and information permits.

I would welcome any suggestions, additions or corrections you may have.
