Rob Madge’s Acclaimed ‘My Son’s A Queer (But What Can You Do?)’ Will Play Broadway This Spring
deadline.comEXCLUSIVE: Following sold-out and critically lauded runs in London’s West End and at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, the Olivier Award-nominated play My Son’s A Queer (But What Can You Do?) starring writer and performer Rob Madge, will arrive on Broadway this spring for a 16-week engagement.
Performances begin at the Lyceum Theatre on February 27, 2024, with opening night slated for March 12. Official synopsis: “This hilarious, poignant, and infectiously joyous one-person play follows the journey of a family as they explore their son’s love for all things Disney, theater and their identity as a Queer human.
As much a hilarious ode to musical theatre and VHS tapes as it is the power of a family’s acceptance, the production beautifully weaves together themes of love and self-discovery with a pop-culture love-in for fairy tale fanboy/girls (and everyone in between).” Madge (who uses the pronouns they/them) is a theater maker, writer and actor who began working professionally in theater at the age of 9, having spent the majority of their childhood forcing their family to help them put on shows in the living room.
Select theater credits include Mary Poppins (Prince Edward Theatre), Macbeth (Gielgud Theatre), Oliver! (Theatre Royal, Drury Lane), and Les Misérables (25th Anniversary International Tour and Concert).
