Life After is a poignant and luminous musical by Canadian composer Britta Johnson, returning to Toronto's CAA Ed Mirvish Theatre from April 16 to May 10, 2025. Directed by Annie Tippe, the production features Isabella Esler as Alice, a 16-year-old navigating the complexities of grief following the sudden death of her father, Frank Carter, a renowned self-help author. As Alice seeks to uncover the truth behind her father's life, she embarks on a journey of self-discovery, confronting themes of love, loss, and acceptance. The musical has been lauded for its emotional depth and originality, with critics describing it as "exquisite from start to finish" (BroadwayWorld) and "a luminous new musical" (The San Diego Union-Tribune). This Toronto engagement marks a significant homecoming for the show, which premiered in the city in 2017 before successful runs in San Diego and Chicago.
