I saw Sinner: A Musical Comedy About Breaking Up with White Jesus, and I'll be honest, I originally picked it for an incredibly superficial reason. The one-woman show stars Marla Torgerson, and in my entire life I've never met another Marla. It felt like fate... or at least a very specific coincidence.

I'm so glad I went.

This was like going to church... if church wasn't boring, had incredible music, and wasn't afraid to drop a few well-earned curse words.

Musically, it was gorgeous. Marla Torgerson has an absolutely stunning voice, but what really impressed me was her ability to connect with the audience. Whether she was making us laugh until our sides hurt or quietly breaking our hearts, every story felt genuine and deeply personal.

The show is hilarious, touching, thoughtful, and beautifully put together. It explores faith, identity, and finding yourself with warmth, honesty, and just the right amount of irreverence.

And a huge shout-out to the backup singers, performed by members of Forte – Toronto's Gay Men's Chorus. They sounded fantastic and added so much energy and richness to the production.

I came because I wanted to meet another Marla. I left having experienced one of the most funny, moving, and memorable shows I've seen in a long time. Praise be... just maybe not that kind of praise.
