ABOUT THE SHOW
A MUSICAL COMING OF AGE IN 1970S ALBERTA
Meet Francesco Mantini, a second-generation Italian teen struggling to find his place in Jasper, Alberta. Inspired by pop culture icons Rocky Balboa and John Travolta, he reinvents himself as Frank Martin: crooner and ladies’ man. As buoyant and bubbly as a glass of prosecco, Made in Italy is a celebration of music, food, and family that’s so delightful you won’t soon fuhgeddaboudit.
Full of heart, and with a soundtrack that blends classic Italian tunes with the electrifying music of the 1970s, Made in Italy is a coming-of-age story that will have you laughing and dancing in your seat. And with award-winning playwright and star Farren Timoteo at the helm, you can expect a performance that is as mesmerizing as it is entertaining.
A hilarious tour de force, Timoteo seamlessly transitions between multiple characters in the blink of an eye, with inspiration from pop icons John Travolta to Rocky Balboa, amid great music that will have you singing along, and disco moves that will leave you in awe.
A beautiful story of father and son finding themselves despite their differences. Don't miss your chance to see this incredible, five-time Jessie Award–nominated show which had sold out performances across Western Canada during its premiere.
Winner of the 2022 Jessie Award for Outstanding Performance in a Leading Comedic Role. Based on the Western Canada Theatre production.

“Timoteo is impressively multi-talented and the show is consistently funny … He sings, dances, does more physical routines than the Cirque du Soleil” — Vancouver Sun
