Classifying musicals based on Constitution sections 91-92 of the Constitution Act. Hella subjective, haven't watched these all, wikipedia aided, alternate between title and content (1/n) https://twitter.com/journo_dale/status/1250117448050892800
Rent, yes a clear provincial issue under S.92, arguably under the civil matters clause
Cats, a matter of local or private nature, as well as a licsensing issue, provincial
Chicago, our first twofer. Clearly criminal law is federal jurisdiction, but municipal governance is provincial, but I'm gonna call it federal (4/n) I suck at numbering
The Lion King, succession law is a combination between the Privy Council for execution, and shared fed/prov jurisdiction for editing succession under s.41 of the 1982 constition act, depending on whether you ask constitutional scholars or the courts (see Motard v AG of Canada)
Wicked, insofar as its related to post-secondary education, falls under provincial jurisdiction, but under section 93, not 92 of Constituin Act 1867
42nd street, by title alone is a "local work or undertaking within the jurisdiction of one province" and therefore provincial under S.38 clause 10(c) (I have no idea what the correct notation is or what to call the subheadings under sections)
This is all assisted by @ADodek's very portable published version of the constitution, with some accompanying notes, from Dundurn Press
I"m no expert, so I don't know if Miss Saigon falls into marriage (federal) or solemnization of marriage (provincial). Good to note I haven't actually seen it, I'm very fledgling in watching musicals!
Kinky Boots, local business, I think its a clear s.92 provincial matter
Annie, crown ward, arguably an Eleemosynary cause, but I can't find the explicit reference to where orphans are delegated, but I figure the path from charity to children's aid societies is likely the best way to look at it
Annie Get Your Gun on the other hand... federal insofar as criminal possession is concerned, definitely federal
South Pacific, naval service, clearly 91(7). Federal.
Waitress, restaurant provincial, food safety federal, obstetrics are provincial as an extension of hospitals. If it was obstetrics in a marine hospital though, it would be federal, but that midwest vibe has me feeling that's unlikely. On the balance, provincial
Dear Evan Hansen, fraud is criminal, but mental health is provincial (though whether more clearly linked to hospital or asylum authority who knows)
Billy Elliot, might be the National Union of Mineworkers in the UK, but it would be Bill Davis, not Brian Mulroney to manage negotiating if it were in Canada/Ontario, energy is a provincial industry and that means its strikes are too
Come From Away, air travel isn't in the 1867 constituion, but thanks to Living Tree doctrine, its likely covered under navigation/shipping as well as ferries to foreign nations.
And speaking of living trees, Little Shop of Horrors, if the botanist's sample came internationally (or intergalactically????), its probably a matter of shipping as well so customs agents will probably be interested, even if CSIS and NSIRA don't have concerns about Audrey II
Guys and Dolls, bets are licsened so Luck be a provincially regulated Lady tonight
