The Nine Lives of L.M. Montgomery had its
official premiere at Kings Playhouse in Georgetown, Prince Edward
Island on June 20, 2008 - the exact 100th anniversary of the publication
of "Anne of Green Gables" - and ran 28 shows until August 3, 2008.
The show was featured on Japan's NHK network, and made history as the
first musical to be based on Maud's life. Plus, for opening night, the
role of former Chief Justice Thane A. Campbell, who declared Maud a Canadian
of National Importance in 1948, was played by his son, former Prince
Edward Island Premier Alexander B. Campbell. Click the images below to

Nine Lives underwent a rewrite preceding its
more colourful and concise second season, which opened July 11, 2009
at the Carrefour Theatre in Charlottetown, Prince Edward Island. It ran
21 shows until the season's finale August 21, 2009. Owing to Maud's experience
with chronic depression, and her husband's with bipolar disorder, half the
proceeds from the August 14 performance were donated to the Canadian
Mental Health Association in an effort to help reduce stigma and promote
mental health. Audiences agreed that this season was a case of the sequel
being even better than the original! Click to enlarge the 2009 photos below,
