Winter Theatre Getaway to Vancouver

DEATH OF A SALESMAN: What does disappointment do to a person? Willy Loman, an unremarkable travelling salesman on the cusp of retirement, is forced to confront the truth of his unfulfilled ambitions when his oldest son returns to the family home. As his past haunts him and his world begins to crumble, Willy grapples with the harsh realities of capitalism and what it means to matter to the world. This timeless play by Arthur Miller, which earned the Pulitzer Prize for Drama in 1949, strikes a powerful chord in this remarkable new production.

MRS. DOUBTFIRE: bursts onto the Queen Elizabeth stage with heart, humour, and high‑energy musical fun. Everyone’s favourite Scottish nanny is headed to you in this acclaimed hit musical. Canadian critics are applauding its charm: Radio‑Canada highlights Craig Allen Smith’s convincing and lightning‑fast transformations in the title role. Ottawa Life Magazine calls the production “a delightful dose of comedy and heart,” noting Smith’s charismatic performance and the show’s family appeal. Based on the beloved film starring Robin Williams, Mrs. Doubtfire tells the hysterical and heartfelt story of an out-of-work actor who will do anything for his kids. With dazzling choreography, quick‑change comedy, and touching family moments, Mrs. Doubtfire delivers an uplifting theatrical experience.

VANCOUVER SYMPHONY ORCHESTRA: Escape into the beauty of the natural world with one of the most iconic pieces in the repertoire, Debussy’s Prélude à l’après-midi d’un faune. Violinist Clara-Jumi Kang has been praised by the Daily Telegraph for “playing that left the audience stunned,” and she unites with guest conductor Stanislav Kochanovsky and the VSO for Sibelius’ wintry Violin Concerto, an aurora borealis of musical colours. Brahms’ Fourth Symphony, written in the Alps, brims with passion and melancholy before concluding the concert in a tragic fit of rage.

Itinerary and Fare Changes: Our many suppliers may notify us about changes to the itinerary prior to departure and sometimes during the tour. We do our best to substitute a similar service if something cancels, but occasionally the only alternative is to provide a refund for the missed activity. Please note that if we are forced to cancel a tour component due to an issue beyond our control, the current penalties still apply if you choose to cancel the entire tour. Fuel surcharges and changes to taxes or other tour costs can occur at any time, therefore Wells Gray Tours reserves the right to increase fares due to such changes up to departure.

Show cancellation: It rarely happens, but performers occasionally get sick, or some mishap causes the cancellation of a show. This can occur even shortly before the performance begins. We know that this would be disappointing for our customers, but the only refund we would be able to obtain for you would be the actual ticket price of the show. The hotel, motorcoach, and other tour services are all prepaid and are nonrefundable at short notice.

Food Allergies: You must notify us no later than at final payment if you have a food allergy. An allergy causes medical distress, a preference does not. For some allergies, please consider bringing your own snacks or food items so you are not dependent on what restaurants are able to serve.

Travel Insurance: A Comprehensive Insurance policy is available through Wells Gray Tours and coverage is provided by Travel Guard until September 8, 2026 and Battleface after that. Policies purchased at deposit include a waiver of the pre-existing condition clause for medical and cancellation claims, otherwise policies can be purchased no later than at final payment. This tour stays in British Columbia. While your BC Services Card may cover you for a medical issue that arises during the tour, you will probably benefit from trip cancellation and trip interruption coverage in case of illness or a mishap before or during the tour. Many other benefits such as luggage insurance are included. Medical questionnaire is not needed. Please contact us for details. If you have your own travel insurance, please read the policy carefully to be sure that you are adequately covered for cancellation, interruption, and luggage.
