The Tragically Hip have played an important part in Canadian cultural, Canadian Music History and to the City of Kingston itself.
Tonight, many of us will be watching the rebroadcast of the final Tragically Hip show on CBC from ten years ago. The Hip have always valued family, and community and country and those are values that we hold dear as well.
Set in Kingston and featuring the music of The Tragically Hip, It’s a Good Life If You Don’t Weaken is a new Canadian musical about love, belonging, and the places that stay with us.

Featuring iconic songs including “Bobcaygeon“, “Ahead by a Century“, “New Orleans Is Sinking“, “Wheat Kings“, “Grace, Too“, “Blow at High Dough” and “Courage”.
