My Mother's Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding
Sankoff and Hein’s first musical, based on David’s mother’s true story of discovering her sexuality, rediscovering her faith, and coming out to her teenage son.
My Mother’s Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding is the first musical from Irene Sankoff and David Hein (Come From Away), and is based on David’s mother. The show is a dual coming of age story. It’s the musical memoir of a son whose mother has a major life change. After Saskatchewan residents Claire and Garth divorce, she is offered a new job in Ottawa, forcing her to leave her young son behind until she settles down in her new life. Little did she know of the seismic changes that would soon follow. She discovers her Judaism, and she falls in love with a woman who turns out to be a Wiccan.
It’s the sort of story that is too good to be fiction, as it examines the last few decades and the major societal shifts that happened.
Filled with irresistible songs, warm humor, unusual characters and situations, My Mother’s Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding is that rare musical that comes from left field yet finds its way into everyone’s heart.
My Mother’s Lesbian Jewish Wiccan Wedding won Best of the Toronto Fringe, Outstanding New Play/Production (Now Awards), Canadian Comedy Award nomination, Most Promising New Musical, Excellence in Writing (New York Musical Festival), the Weston New Musical Award and Best Musical awards for productions across North America, with Sankoff and Hein performing in many of them.
