Winnipeg Broadway Theatre
This powerful new musical follows the extraordinary rise and heartbreaking exploitation of the Dionne quintuplets, born in the small farming town of Corbeil, Ontario, in 1934.
After their unprecedented birth inspires a struggling nation, government leaders and medical authorities seize custody under the guise of protection, transforming the infants into international sensations and the centerpiece of a booming tourist attraction known as QUINTLAND. When wartime interest fades and political motives shift, the girls are finally sent home after eight years, only to face further trauma in a household fractured by loss.
Bound by sisterhood, the quintuplets remain determined to move from a childhood that belonged to the world to an adulthood that finally belonged to themselves.
Quintland is a moving lesson in Canadian history with excellent performances and gorgeous vocals. LOVED the circus scene and hope to win one of the t-shirt giveaways when I see it again!
The show is spectacular! The score and script are amazing. The acting and singing are phenomenal. The harmonies in the last selection moved me to tears. I was especially impressed with the 11 children. Don’t miss this show. You will be deeply moved by the storyline and blown away by the incredible local talent.
This is way beyond Fringe-level ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ The story is easy to follow and really pulls you in, and the actors and singers are incredibly talented. The standing ovation was hard-earned and well-deserved!
The best show I have seen in a long time. All of the performers were amazing but special shout out to the young performers who were extra amazing! Well done everyone. We are returning for a second performance this week.
Absolutely blown away. How many more times can I see it? 5 STARS!
What an incredible local work that dives into a story of Canadian history I didn’t previously know. Expertly told. A must-see!
An amazing show! If you’re looking for a great Fringe show, this is one to see! The cast is outstanding, the production is polished and professional, and the emotional story will stay with you long after the show ends. It’s a performance that both young and old can enjoy. Broadway worthy, highly recommended!
