 We've received some amazing reviews and some incredible support from the Gay & Lesbian, Jewish, Wiccan, and theatre communities. Here's some examples:
"Fabulous! Every once in a while you see a show that's so amazing that you want to grab people on the street and tell them to go and see it... It's funny, touching, the performances were wonderful and it's going to go places. See it now!"
- Mooney on Theatre
4 STARS - "First off, My Mother's Lesbian Jewish-Wiccan Wedding isn't just a clever title; David Hein turns autobiography into musical theatre as the story of his two moms is told through songs like 'You Don't Need a Penis' and 'Straight White Male,' as well as an awkward dinner date at Hooters and a sidebar on gay rights in Canada... genuinely moving and well-executed, packing a lot into 60 minutes... an all-ages lesson in tolerance"
- EYE weekly
4 NNNN's - Critic's Pick! - "The title sounds somewhat silly, but writer/performer David Hein has created a true, heartfelt, family tribute in musical comedy form. Director Andrew Lamb skilfully squeezes a live 3-piece band and a gifted seven-member cast onto the small stage while keeping the action fluid and fun, and the audience cheers wildly through 18 witty songs."
- NOW
"YES, YES and YES! MMLJWW is folksy, it's fun, it's charming, it's honest and it's a crowd pleaser! David Hein and Irene Carl have created a very sweet and endearing love musical for his mothers. The crowd fell in love and how could they not with the well thought out lyrics, perfect casting and perfect pacing that all Fringe Shows should try to follow."
