With Madge taking on the roles of Mary Poppins, Mickey Mouse, Ariel and Belle, and their dad becoming the Stage Manager, Sound Technician and Goofy, what could possibly go wrong?<\/p>\n<p>We won\u2019t spoil the surprise, but a lot.<\/p>\n<p>Now, Madge sets out to recreate the infamous Disney performance in My Son\u2019s a Queer (But What Can You Do?), and nothing or nobody is going to rain on their parade!<\/p>\n<p>The award-winning production was first performed at London\u2019s The Turbine Theatre in 2021, before transferring to the Garrick Theatre in early 2022. Madge\u2019s show had an incredible sold out stint at this summer\u2019s Edinburgh Fringe Festival, and now it\u2019s back in the capital city from January 25th 2023 for a limited-time only run.<\/p>\n<p>Speaking about the show, Madge said: \u201cI am so very excited to be bringing My Son\u2019s a Queer back to the West End, this time at the Ambassadors Theatre. Putting on a show about when I used to put on shows in my living room continues to be the most surreal, magical thing and I can\u2019t wait to share my brilliant, hilarious family and our story (which I hope is a relatable one) with more audiences.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI hope that people leave My Son\u2019s a Queer feeling brighter and uplifted with the knowledge that anything is possible when the stage is your living room!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s how you can get tickets to My Son\u2019s a Queer (But What Can You Do?).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"\/\/imp.i108736.net\/c\/1236178\/783491\/11264?subId1=radiotimes-0&amp;u=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.londontheatredirect.com%2Fplay%2Fmy-sons-a-queer-but-what-can-you-do-tickets&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;sponsored&quot; noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Buy My Son\u2019s a Queer (But What Can You Do?) tickets from \u00a330 at London Theatre Direct<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>If, like Madge, you\u2019re a Disney fan, check out the top <a href=\"\/\/www.radiotimes.com\/technology\/technology-deals\/disney-plus-offers\/&quot;\" target=\"&quot;_blank&quot;\" rel=\"&quot;noopener&quot; noopener noreferrer\">Disney Plus offers<\/a> for this month.<\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><strong>My Son\u2019s a Queer (But What Can You Do?): When and where is the play showing?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p>Madge\u2019s solo show is coming back to the West End from 25th January until 18th March 2023.
