Direct from a successful run as part of World Premiere Wisconsin, A Woman Is…, a cabaret about family, identity, and becoming who you are, is coming to the Toronto Fringe Festival, July 6-16, 2023.
The production features triple-threat performer Kiki Moritsugu in a solo show that is part monologue, part musical theatre, part tribute, and part exorcism.
It’s all about Kiki’s relationship with her larger-than-life mother, Canadian actress Jo Hutchings. A Woman Is… addresses universal experiences even as it follows the story of one woman.
Sharing three generations of backstage stories, Kiki shows the love, laughter, and learning that animated a family where role conflict could be a literal thing…plus, her own, personal experiences, from summer stock to every shopping mall in Canada to Broadway.
