MY SON’S A QUEER (BUT WHAT CAN YOU DO?) to make New York debut at New York City Center
It has been announced that West End smash hit My Son’s A Queer (But What Can You Do?) will make its New York debut this June; just in time for Pride Month!
From 13-15 June, New York City Center will welcome writer and performer Rob Madge's triumphant and hilarious celebration of identity, creativity, and the profound bond between a parent and their child.
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, with direction by Luke Sheppard, songs by Pippa Cleary, set and costume design by Ryan Dawson Laight, lighting by Jai Morjaria, sound by Tingying Dong, video design by George Reeve, and orchestrations by Simon Nathan.
