Our Little Secret: A True New Musical

A Russell Citron Production
Written by and starring Noam Tomaschoff
Music by Ryan Peters
Created with Russell Citron
Directed by Adam Pascal

What does a 31-year-old theatre kid do when he finds out his parents aren’t quite who he thought they were? Write a musical, of course! OUR LITTLE SECRET is the hilarious, moving, and completely true story of Toronto performer Noam Tomaschoff’s discovery that he isn’t an only child, and he actually has more than 35 siblings around the world. Blending comedy, drama, and addictive music, OUR LITTLE SECRET will leave you laughing, crying — and seeing your family in a whole new light.

The show began at the 2023 Toronto Fringe, where it sold-out its entire run and won the Patron’s Pick and Best of Fringe awards. After further development, it had its international premiere at the Edinburgh Fringe in 2024, where it was an audience favourite and won the annual Chrisparkle Award for Best Performance in a Musical for Noam Tomaschoff. An enhanced new production played at Montreal’s Segal Centre in 2025, becoming one of the best-selling shows in the theatre’s history and winning five BroadwayWorld Awards, including Best New Musical and Best Performance in a Musical for Noam Tomaschoff.

This new production of the musical will be directed by Broadway star Adam Pascal (Rent, Aida) and will play the Citadel Theatre in Edmonton before coming home to Toronto.
