The story of My Son's A Queer
Written and performed entirely by musical theatre star Rob Madge, My Son's A Queer tells the story of a family's attempt 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 and Sound Technician. Unfortunately, Dad missed all his cues and pushed all the floats in the wrong direction. Mum mistook Aladdin for Ursula. The costumes went wrong. Ariel’s bubble gun didn’t even work properly. However, as always, grandma had a nice time!
About My Son’s A Queer
Premiering to a sold-out season at the Turbine Theatre two years ago, followed by another sell-out run at the 2022 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, My Son's A Queer transferred to the West End’s Garrick Theatre last autumn. The production’s current run at the Ambassadors Theatre began on 25 January 2023 and celebrated its 100th performance across all four venues on Friday 17 February. The show is a hilarious, touching and deeply personal account of Rob Madge's life, from their childhood through to the present day, exploring the ups and downs of growing up queer in a world that isn't always accepting.
