ZIEGFELD BOY FOLLIES GIRL

Celebrated jazz singer, acclaimed cabaret artiste and gender transcendent diva Mama Alto glitters as Follies Girl in this stage spectacular inspired by the ‘Folies Bergère’, the Ziegfield Follies, and the golden age of MGM movie musicals.

This stunning hour of vaudeville delights and transports audiences to a classic era of mid-century glamour reinterpreted with contemporary queer flair.

Never before has so much talent been packed into so little clothing. In the indulgent tradition of the Ziegfeld Follies, this boylesque flips the traditional gender roles through songs, skits and plenty of skin.

Experience the infamous diva songs of the 20th century reimagined for the gay male gaze, including Le Jazz Hot, Let Me Entertain You and The Man that Got Away. This is vaudeville the way it should have been — a decadent world of glitz, glamour and glutes.
