Recognition
Press & Critics
"Have you ever known you were witnessing something destined to get real big, real fast? We're overdue for another Fringe sleeper headed towards monster stardom โ and it's here. Stand in whatever line you need to. You'll have bragging rights you were there at the beginning."
"The Segal Centre has another smash hit on its hands. He is one of a kind: a talented singer with funny lines and boundless energy. This story could shoot him to superstardom โ I could see this becoming a motion picture."
"Noam Tomaschoff is a star in the making, filling each number with the emotions that only the person with the true lived experience could convey. The songs are first rate. Sold out โ get your skates on."
"An absolute standout of my time at the Edinburgh Fringe. Noam had the audience in the palm of his hand. This new musical ticks all the right boxes and deserves so much success."
"Sparkily written and pacily performed. Tomaschoff melds 13 finely crafted, rhyming songs with his graphic tale โ infectiously optimistic theatre about human kindness. A standing ovation well deserved."
"Our Little Secret is a light, fun musical that drags the unspoken onstage โ and in doing so makes a dark secret a bright light. A masterclass in performance. A show you won't soon forget."
"Every once in a while, I see a show that changes my idea of what is possible in theatre. The tone is gloriously light and funny. Not a single false note. An emotional ride of the best kind."
"A masterpiece of music, comedy and drama. Funny, heartfelt, and full of surprises. Following award-winning Fringe runs, the Segal Centre's full production brings the show to its full potential."
The Show

The Story Behind the Show
What started as a grassroots original Canadian production โ written, rehearsed, and built from scratch with a group of childhood best friends โ has become one of the most talked-about new musicals in North America.
Noam Tomaschoff (writer, performer) teamed up with Ryan Peters (composer) and Russell Citron (producer) โ all friends since high school โ to turn one of the most shocking moments of Noam's life into a full-blown musical.
The show premiered at Toronto Fringe in July 2023 on a bare stage, sold out every single performance, and won both the Patron's Pick Award and Best of Fringe. A year later it stormed Edinburgh โ 1st place out of 90 shows. Then came the full Mainstage production at the Segal Centre in Montreal with a live band, and now: the Citadel Theatre in Edmonton, directed by Broadway legend Adam Pascal.
Along the way, Noam performed the show at 23andMe headquarters for the entire company โ who came on as sponsors of the production.
"I didn't see an alternative. Incorporating this news into my life story through song and storytelling has been essential โ not only for me, but for my family."

Beyond the Show
Our Little Secret is the launchpad โ but Noam Tomaschoff is the artist behind it. A graduate of NYU's Tisch School of the Arts, a founding member of Shakespeare in the Square (New York City's beloved outdoor Shakespeare company), and a veteran of national musical theatre tours with TheatreWorks USA, Noam brings a serious craft to everything he creates.
He's a storyteller who connects high-concept ideas with deeply personal narratives. The ability to take the most unexpected moment of his life โ discovering at 31 that he was donor-conceived and had 35 siblings โ and transform it into a musical that has sold out every single run speaks to a rare combination of theatrical instinct, comedic timing, and raw emotional honesty.
Noam has spoken on panels about personal storytelling, being donor-conceived, and the ethics of DNA testing and family secrets. He is available as a keynote speaker, panelist, and media source on these topics, and has been featured on CBC Radio, Toronto Life, BroadwayWorld, and more.
He also wrote and directed the feature film Tankhouse (2022), starring Richard Kind and Christopher Lloyd. Watch on Amazon Prime โ
