⭐ MY SON’S A QUEER (BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO?) – WEST END TRANSFER ANNOUNCED ⭐
My Son’s A Queer (But What Can You Do?), written by and performed by Rob Madge, will transfer to the West End, it has been announced.
My Son’s A Queer (But What Can You Do?) written by and performed by Rob Madge (Oliver!, Les Misérables) and directed by Luke Sheppard (& Juliet, In The Heights) celebrates the joy and chaos of raising a queer child, and originally had a critically acclaimed, and sold out run at the Turbine Theatre in 2021.
Following another sell out run at this year’s Edinburgh Festival, My Son’s A Queer (But What Can You Do?) will transfer to the Garrick Theatre, in London’s West End, from 21st October – 6th November 2022.
When Rob was 12, they attempted to stage a full-blown Disney parade in their house for their Grandma. As Rob donned a wig and played Mary Poppins, Ariel, Mickey Mouse and Belle, their Dad doubled as Stage Manager, Sound Technician and Goofy. Unfortunately, Dad missed all his cues and pushed all the floats in the wrong direction. Mum mistook Aladdin for Ursula. The costumes went awry. Ariel’s bubble gun didn’t even work properly. Grandma had a nice time though.
Winner of the ‘WhatsOnStage Best Off-West End Production 2022’ Award, My Son’s A Queer (But What Can You Do?) is the joyous autobiographical story of social-media sensation Rob Madge as they set out to recreate that parade – and this time, nobody, no, nobody is gonna rain on it!
Creatives include associate director Tom Jackson Greaves, composition by Pippa Cleary, orchestration by Simon Nathan, designs by Ryan Dawson Laight, projection design by George Reeve, sound design by Tingying Dong, mixing by Joel Mulley-Goodbarne, lighting design by Jai Morjaria, associate lighting design by Tom Mulliner, video engineering by Tom Fitch and stage management by Rosie Morgan.
My Son’s A Queer (But What Can You Do?) is written and performed by Rob Madge and directed by Luke Sheppard.
