The next production will be "Hamilton" from November 1-13. The story of American founding father Alexander Hamilton blends hip-hop, jazz, and R&B music. The musical written by Lin-Manuel Miranda has won 11 Tony Awards.

The musical "Come from Away", which will run from December 6-11, is about the true story of 7,000 stranded plane passengers and the small town in Newfoundland that welcomed them.
