also co-produced Saved, a musical based on the 2004 film that was presented off-Broadway in 2008. Other planned productions did not pan out, however, which included a musical based on the life of Bruce Lee and a musical that features the songs of Sheryl Crow. Between August 21, 2008, and December 6, 2008, Dancap Productions presented a national tour of Jersey Boys at the Toronto Centre for the Arts, which quickly performed to sell-out audiences and received critical acclaim. Following the success of the tour stop, Dancap Productions subsequently announced a Canadian production of Jersey Boys. The production opened on December 12, 2008 at the Toronto Centre for the Arts. It starred Jeremy Kushnier as Tommy Devito, Derek Krantz as Bob Gaudio, Michael Lomenda as Nick Massi, and Jeff Madden as Frankie Valli.

Subsequent legal challenges that occurred in the following years attempted to prevent the sale, but were ultimately unsuccessful. This left Dancap Productions without a theatre that they owned where they could present their productions. This forced Dancap Productions to continue renting theatres, a factor which Dan attributed to the company's ultimate downfall. As part of their 2012 season, Dancap announced they would be presenting non-equity tours of In the Heights and Shrek the Musical as part of their subscription series. This was met with significant criticism from the Canadian Actors’ Equity union, who protested this decision and asked Toronto critics to not review these productions. Dan defended his decision to present non-equity tours, stating that, while the company was mitigating their own financial risk, they were nevertheless still quality productions. In April 2012, Dancap Productions announced that it would be closing at the end of their 2012 season. In a statement announcing the closure, Dan wrote, "With a heavy heart, I am announcing that Dancap
