Musical theatre |
 | | Theatre Calgary commissioned Allan Rae's science-fiction musical Trip (1970), and later Rae and Tink Robinson's Festival. |
| | Among composers of children's musicals are Victor Davies (Reginald the Robot, 1970), Sandra Jones and Berthold Carriere (Ready Steady Go, 1974), Pat Patterson and Dodi Robb (among others The Dandy Lion, 1964), Allan Rae (Beware the Quickly Who, 1971), Ernie Swartz (Aladdin and the Magic Lamp), and Paul Vigna (Cyclone Jack). |
| | Shows such as Toronto, Toronto (Mark Shekter and Charles Weir, 1980), Anglo (Rod Hayward and Allan Nicholls Montreal, 1984), and Sex Tips for Modern Girls (Vancouver, 1985 music by John Sereda) stand as epitaphs for an era as the next generation of satirists chose television over theatre. |
