Dancap Productions

[2] In 2004, Aubrey Dan was approached by the non-profit Canadian Stage Company to consider a sponsorship deal for some of the productions they were presenting in Toronto.

[9] Early on, Dancap Productions presented their shows in downtown Toronto at the Elgin and Winter Garden Theatres, which was rented from the Government of Ontario.

In July 2007, Dancap Productions partnered with Elephant Eye Theatrical to develop several new musicals with the aim of eventually bringing them to Broadway.

[16] Between August 21, 2008, and December 6, 2008, Dancap Productions presented a national tour of Jersey Boys at the Toronto Centre for the Arts, which quickly performed to sell-out audiences and received critical acclaim.

It starred Jeremy Kushnier as Tommy Devito, Derek Krantz as Bob Gaudio, Michael Lomenda as Nick Massi, and Jeff Madden as Frankie Valli.

This forced Dancap Productions to continue renting theatres, a factor which Dan attributed to the company's ultimate downfall.

[24][25] Dan defended his decision to present non-equity tours, stating that, while the company was mitigating their own financial risk, they were nevertheless still quality productions.

[29] Also in 2017, Dan worked with Mirvish to co-produce An American in Paris on Broadway, and, in 2018, present the musical in Toronto at the Princess of Wales Theatre.
