'Rob Ford The Musical' takes the stage in Toronto

robfordmusical.ca

One of the most watched municipal election campaigns in North America is underway. Residents of Toronto vote next month and, already, it has been a political roller coaster. The main player in the drama is the subject of a new theatrical production that is about to hit the stage.

Mayor Rob Ford withdrew from the race last week after being diagnosed with an abdominal tumor. But the city's controversial mayor is still in the race. He is now trying to win a seat on the city council and his brother Doug is chasing the mayor’s mantle. 

All this has been a story that might seem more fiction that truth. But it’s the background for a musical about Rob Ford that opens Thursday night in Toronto.

WBFO's Dan Karpenchuk has a preview.

WBFO’s comprehensive news coverage extends into Southern Ontario and Dan Karpenchuk is the station’s voice from the north. The award-winning reporter covers binational issues, including economic trends, the environment, tourism and transportation.
