Toronto Theatre - Hairspray 11/16 & 17/05

Hairspray is Coming to Toronto!

Don't miss the Tony-winning triumph Hairspray when it comes to Toronto's Princess of Wales Theatre November 16 & 17th!

With big girls, big hair, and even bigger laughs, comes Hairspray, a splashy new musical based on the 1988 John Waters film that starred Divine and a then-unknown Ricki Lake.
It's 1962 and pleasantly plump Baltimore teen Tracy Turnblad has only one dream--to dance on the popular Corny Collins Show. When her dream comes true, Tracy is transformed from social outcast to sudden star, but she must use her newfound power to vanquish the reigning teen queen, win the affections of heartthrob Link Larkin and integrate a TV network, all without denting her 'do!

Montreal vs. Pittsburgh - Tonight!

Jose Theodore hopes to lead the Montreal Canadiens to their sixth straight win as they visit the Pittsburgh Penguins at Mellon Arena.

Theodore, who won both the Vezina trophy and MVP award in 2002, had won four straight starts and 10 of 14 overall this season.

"The last seven or eight games I've been feeling well," said the 29-year-old goaltender. "I've been trying to build on little details and make the little adjustments that allow me to make the big saves. I'm just concentrating on my stuff and the guys are taking care of the rest. It's fun to see them working hard like that." Read more...

Canucks vs. Avalanche - Tonight! 11/10/05

Having lost four straight on the road, the Vancouver Canucks will be happy to have the chance to remain perfect at home when they host the Colorado Avalanche.

Vancouver and Carolina are the only teams yet to lose at home this season. During their 7-0 start at GM Place, the Canucks have outscored opponents 30-16.

Colorado was responsible for starting Vancouver's road losing streak, as it won two straight home games from the Canuckstwo weeks ago. The Avalanche posted a 6-2 victory on Oct. 27 and came away with a 4-3 overtime win two days later.

During the overtime defeat, Canucksgoaltender Dan Clouter sustained a concussion that has kept him out of the lineup since. Cloutier has begun practicing with his teammates and could start Thursday, or Sunday at home against Detroit.

"He could start I suppose," Canucks coach Marc Crawford said. "Right now we've told Alex (Auld) to be ready. With Dan we want to give him the opportunity to recuperate and feel as good as he possibly can."

Auld has started all four games in Cloutier's absence, allowing nine goals while splitting four decisions.

Vancouver was called for three penalties in the final four minutes of a 4-3 loss in Calgary on Monday.

"We took some penalties that we were responsible for and by veteran people and those things we have to correct and correct quickly." Crawford said. Read More...
