The show features a reimagining of Joni Mitchell’s iconic and timeless music through a contemporary lens. The six members of the company are quadruple-threats, seen in various productions throughout town. I’ll get Ms. Kuman and Mr. Cohen to tell us about this show, this cast, and Mitchell’s music, and what one might expect during the show’s run which begins 29 April 2017, and runs until 20 May 2017 at the Firehall Arts Centre at 280 East Cordova here in Vancouver.
