The Lord of the Rings, the theatrical event premiering at Toronto’s Princess of Wales, will start Feb. 4, 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 said in a statement. “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 Feb. 4.” [More]

NEW YORK – Theatergoers curious about the lavish stage version of “The Lord of Rings” will have to wait two days longer for the first public performance in Toronto. The production will now begin preview performances Saturday at the Princess of Wales Theatre instead of Thursday, producer Kevin Wallace said in a telephone interview from Canada. “It isn’t that there is a problem,” Wallace said. “It’s just the volume of work. We need an extra 48 hours.” [More]
