⭐ MY SON’S A QUEER (BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO?) – NEW YORK PREMIERE ANNOUNCED – NEW YORK CITY CENTER – JUNE 2025 ⭐
The West End hit MY SON’S A QUEER (BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO?) will make its New York debut this June, it has been announced.
This June, New York City Center welcomes writer and performer Rob Madge’s triumphant and hilarious celebration of identity, creativity, and the profound bond between a parent and their child. The production was previously set to premiere on Broadway in Spring 2024, and was postponed.
As a child, Rob filled their home with grand performances, transforming into Mary Poppins, Ariel, and Belle with the help of homemade costumes, boundless imagination, and a little technical assistance (and occasional interference) from Dad. Their parents never said no—to a parade in the living room, to a costume change mid-scene, to a dream too big for the space it was staged in.
Now, through a treasure trove of home videos and theatrical magic, MY SON’S A QUEER (BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO?) brings those moments to life, celebrating the power of childhood imagination, and the profound impact of parents who simply love.
MY SON’S A QUEER (BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO?) is written by Rob Madge, directed by Luke Sheppard, and features songs by Pippa Cleary. The production also features set & costume design by Ryan Dawson Laight, lighting design by Jai Morjaria, sound design by Tingying Dong, video design by George Reeve, and orchestrations by Simon Nathan.
MY SON’S A QUEER (BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO?) will play New York City Center on 13th, 14th and 15th June 2025, with tickets on sale now.
New York theatre fans, don’t miss this beautiful piece of theatre! ! !
