About the Show
Canada’s most beloved and longest running musical! This family classic relives the touching and amusing story of Anne Shirley, the spunky, red-headed orphan who comes to Prince Edward Island eager to find a happy home. Freckled-faced Anne with an “E” arrives at the Railway Station full of hope for a new life with aging brother and sister, Matthew and Marilla Cuthbert. She is distressed when she finds out that the elderly couple was expecting a boy and overjoyed when they decide to keep her! With her fiery temper, passion for melodrama and romance, and penchant for misadventures, Anne brings laughter, love and more than a little consternation to the village of Avonlea.
