Rob Madge’s Acclaimed ‘My Son’s A Queer (But What Can You Do?)’ Will Play Broadway This Spring
Image
Exclusive: 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,...
