My Son’s A Queer, (But What Can You Do?) @ Apollo Theatre

When Rob was twelve, they attempted a full-blown Disney parade in their house for their Grandma. As Rob donned wigs 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. Grandma had a nice time, though. My Sons a Queer (But What Can You Do?) is the joyous autobiographical story of West End Musical Theatre star and social-media sensation Rob Madge, as they set out to recreate that parade and this time, nobody, no, nobody is gonna rain on it.
