Welcome back to the 160th episode of The Cup which is our a weekly (give or take, TBD, these are unprecedented times) performing arts talk show presented by Cup of Hemlock Theatre. With the theatres on a come back we offer a mix of both reviews of live shows we've seen and continued reviews of prophet productions! For our 160th episode we bring you our second holiday themed duet review Chris, Mrs., a new holiday musical by Matt Stodolak and Katie Kerr, presented in its world premiere by Boldly Productions, starring Danielle Wade and Liam Tobin. Join Mackenzie Horner and Jillian Robinson, as they discuss this new Hallmark of Canadian musical theatre, the strength of actor specificity, and the magic of mise-en-scène. Happy holidays!
Chris, Mrs. is playing at the Elgin and Winter Garden Theatre (189 Yonge St, Toronto, ON) until December 31st, 2023. Tickets can be purchased from the following link: https://www.ticketmaster.ca/artist/3038888?venueId=131082

If you intend to see the production, we recommend you stop watching after that point, or at least proceed at your own risk.
