And it’s back to the work week! Happy Tuesday, Edmonton. It’s short, but packed week ahead. From the 2023 Special Olympics Alberta Winter Games to Anastasia on stage, here are some of the best things to do in and around Edmonton this short week!
Kick off the short week by checking out the adventure-filled new musical Anastasia! From the Tony Award-winning creators of the Broadway classic Ragtime, “this dazzling show transports us from the twilight of the Russian Empire to the euphoria of Paris in the 1920s, as a brave young woman sets out to discover the mystery of her past. Pursued by a ruthless Soviet officer determined to silence her, Anya enlists the aid of a dashing conman and a lovable ex-aristocrat. Together, they embark on an epic adventure to help her find home, love, and family.”
