Rob Madge’s one-person show has opened at London’s Turbine Theatre, directed by Luke Sheppard. Readers may not initially be familiar with the name Rob Madge, but we’re sure you’ll have seen some of their videos – Rob’s been prolific on social media, particularly since the pandemic hit, sharing heartwarming childhood memories of staging full-blown Disney parades at home (predominantly for grandma’s enjoyment).
My Son’s a Queer (But What Can You Do?) is a 70-minute trip down memory lane, charting one queer kid’s journey through school to the stage, brought to life through Rob’s love of all things Disney.
It’s all just so charming and warm – the home videos are endlessly cute, illustrating the life of someone clearly born to perform.
