Most of all it is about discovering what it means to be yourself in a world that won\u2019t accept you. The Louder We Get has all the elements to be a global cult phenomenon \u2013 catch this future Broadway-bound show when it begins its run at the Max Bell Theatre on January 22 and continues throughout February!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Louder We Get - Official Music Video\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9gCSfDPU-cs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading has-large-font-size\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.todocanada.ca\/city\/calgary\/event\/hockey-sweater-dr-lola-rozsa-childrens-concert\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">THE HOCKEY SWEATER: THE MUSICAL<\/a><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Roch Carrier\u2019s storybook The Hockey Sweater is a Canadian classic. The story begins with a young Quebecois boy who mistakenly receives a Toronto Maple Leaf&#8217;s jersey rather than the Montreal Canadiens sweater he had ordered from the Eaton&#8217;s catalogue. The boy is persecuted and barred from playing hockey when he shows up wearing the sweater of the enemy team. This story captures the ups and downs of childhood in Canada, the nation&#8217;s enduring passion for the sport of hockey and the underlying theme that a jersey doesn&#8217;t necessarily define who you are. Abigail Richardson-Schulte has adapted this timeless tale into a musical, with enchanting orchestral arrangements, costumes and choreography that will be showcased at the Jack Singer Hall here in Calgary on February 2!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-medium-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">When you visit Calgary for inspirational and powerful theatrical experiences, you&#8217;ll need supremely comfortable accommodations to provide you with that special home away from home experience.
