My Mum Died & I Wanna Sing About It
My Mum Died & I Wanna Sing About It by Jack Francis West
DEAD MUM is an autobiographical queer comedy jukebox cabaret straight from the phenomenal musical mind of Jack Francis West. It is an exploration of queer joy, being stupid and finding happiness in the wake of losing your mother at a young age.
A solo-performer show featuring songs from a litany of your favourite Broadway musicals, DEAD MUM is guaranteed to make you laugh, cringe and cry.
Presented as a part of the 2022 Melbourne Fringe, this production was a remount of a 2021 creative development.
