Rob Madge’s My Son’s A Queer (But What Can You Do?) announces New York run

Rob Madge‘s WhatsOnStage Award-winning My Son’s a Queer (But What Can You Do?) will play in New York this summer.

After a 2021 Turbine Theatre debut, a successful run in the iconic Udderbelly in 2022 and two subsequent West End seasons, Madge will now bring their solo show to New York for three nights.

Written and performed by Madge, the piece is an autobiographical journey of one young person, their love for all things Disney and musical theatre, finding their queer identity and acceptance from their family.

The show features songs by Pippa Cleary (The Great British Bake Off Musical) and a generous helping of home videos from Madge’s childhood. It is directed by Luke Sheppard (& Juliet) and produced by Bill Kenwright Ltd and Paul Taylor-Mills.

Also on the creative team are scenic and costume designer Ryan Dawson Laight, lighting designer Jai Morjaria, sound designer Tingying Dong, video designer George Reeve, and orchestrator Simon Nathan.

My Son’s A Queer will be staged at New York City Center from 13 to 15 June 2025.
