Hart House Theatre, 7 Hart House Cir, Toronto, ON

The musical provides a retrospective of her life from the moment she wins the Victoire de la Musique Award (French Grammy) in Paris in 2017. Relayed through a series of flashbacks, including her iconic thank you speech ("I Thank Thee"), spiritual invocations of her great grandmother, and scenes from her early life in Tobago and Trinidad, Queen of the Road recounts the struggles and triumphs of Calypso Rose as she moves through a world where for many years, she was the lone woman on a male-dominated stage.

Capturing the spirit and vitality of the undisputed Calypso Queen of the World's music and life, this jukebox musical reveals the power of art to transform society.
