Mississauga, ON — The Living Arts Centre (LAC) is set to dazzle audiences once again with a spectacular lineup of live events for its 2024/2025 season. Officially commencing on September 28, 2024, the season promises to be a vibrant celebration of the arts, featuring an impressive array of performances that cater to all tastes.
“We’re thrilled to showcase a full roster of live shows once again at the Living Arts Centre, our city’s premiere performing arts theatre,” said Acting Mayor and Ward 9 Councillor Martin Reid. “We are committed to celebrating global and local artists. This season promises to be a wonderful celebration, bringing the wonder of live performance back to the 2023 Music City of the Year. I encourage everyone to check out the upcoming events happening in Mississauga and to catch a show this season.”
The LAC’s new season will launch with a series of high-profile events. An Evening With The Fab Four will kick things off with note-perfect renditions of The Beatles’ classics, followed by Labyrinth in Concert, a screening of the Jim Henson and David Bowie film accompanied by a live orchestra. Pink Martini, featuring China Forbes, will also take the stage, celebrating their 30th anniversary with a unique blend of classical, jazz, and old-fashioned pop.
Families will be delighted with Blippi: Join the Band Tour, where children can dance, sing, and learn about music with Blippi and special guest Meekah. Tribute to the Legends of Reggae: Bob Marley Edition will bring a live musical rockumentary to the LAC, paying homage to the reggae legend.
