The rock opera features well known songs, “I Don’t Know How To Love Him,” made famous by Yvonne Elliman and “Superstar.”

Tickets are Adults, $28, Seniors $17 and Students $15 and can be purchased at the UofTtix Box Office, 416-978-8849.
“I Don’t Know How to Love Him” is a beautiful song. I think the only Andrew Lloyd Webber musical I’ve seen was Phantom of the Opera.
Hi Grace, I love that song too! I haven’t seen Phantom of the Opera yet! Cheers, Lori
