Queenz takes on a residency at Underbelly Boulevard this summer, bringing all the glam and magic in the heart of Soho. From the moment the five queens - Bella Du Ball (Grant Jackson), Billie Eyelash (Craig Colley), Dior Montay (Mark McCredie), Candy Caned (Joshua Pearson), and Zeze Van Cartier (Jonathon Hands) - storm the stage, a whirlwind of glitz, humour, and musicality engulfs the audience.

The queens’ charisma is undeniable, and their individual talents shine through. Each queen brings a unique flavour to the show, creating a dynamic and unforgettable ensemble.

Beyond the queens' performances (Spice Girls, Lady Gaga, Whitney, Tina Turner and many more), the show's technical elements are equally impressive. The stage design is visually striking, and the lighting and sound enhance the overall atmosphere.

The creative team, led by David Griego, has crafted a visually beautiful and musically dynamic production. Alex Turney's musical direction, Arj Chawanja's music production, and Keiron Powell's creative associate and production manager roles have contributed significantly to the show's success.

The seven-minute musical medley is a hilarious and show-stopping highlight, showcasing the queens' versatility and comedic timing.

 

Forget all the usual etiquette and protocol that theatregoers should follow. The show’s energy is infectious, and the audience is encouraged to sing, dance, and film, transforming the theatre into a pulsating nightclub.

If you're looking for a night of pure unadulterated fun, Queenz is an absolute must-see. Prepare to be dazzled, delighted, and thoroughly entertained.

It runs until 18 August.
