Chelsea Hotel: The Songs of Leonard Cohen

Running Time: 2 hours

Produced & Presented by Firehall Arts Centre

Director/Choreographer: Tracey Power
Musical Director: Steve Charles

A crowd favourite when it first opened at the Firehall in 2012 and went on to tour Canada, Chelsea Hotel is back. Celebrating the life and work of the late Mr. Cohen, Chelsea Hotel follows a writer with a tumultuous love life haunted by the memories of the past. He checks into New York’s infamous titular hotel, desperate to find the words and inspiration for his next song. Told through song and old relationships, the production is an inventive fusion of music, dance, and drama embodied as a poetic musical journey of the creative mind, set in a hotel room.

We’re Grateful to Be Here.

The Firehall Arts Centre is located on the unceded and traditional territories of the xʷməθkʷəy̓əm (Musqueam), Sḵwx̱wú7mesh (Squamish) and səlilwətaɬ (Tsleil-Waututh) First Nations where they lived and gathered together for thousands of years. Acknowledging their connections to these lands is a significant part of what the Firehall considers when choosing the productions and presentations we undertake and how that work shapes and impacts those around us. We ask our community to reflect on what being present here means to you and those around you.
