I'm not a fan of stage musicals, but there's one coming to Toronto from London, England's west end in July and August that I'd be interested in: The Harder They Come. If you haven't seen the Perry Henzell-written and directed film starring Jimmy Cliff as an early '70s Jamaican gangsta Robin Hood, or at least listened to its excellent reggae soundtrack, you definitely should. I doubt if the stage version can live up to the movie, or if the singers will be able to do justice to the original songs, but I'm curious.
Here's the trailer for the film:
