MTO is directed by Larry Weinstein, with music by Alexina Louie, screenplay by Dan Redican, starring me (onscreen) & Daniel Okulitch (in voice) as our beloved former PM, plus a cast of talented Canadian actors like Stephanie Anne Mills, Colin Mochrie, Sean Cullen, Wayne Best and Ted Dysktra.

Joyously irreverent, Mulroney: The Opera blends political satire with an original operatic score. It is at once a comedy, a tragedy and always thoroughly epic in its portrayal of contemporary political life in Canada. Within the ‘Holy Grail’ of musical forms – the Opera - these stories, scandals and real-life politicians are finally given the larger-than-life platform they deserve.
