Expenses Only - The Musical

As part of LGBT HISTORY MONTH & The B Right On LGBT Community Festival Expenses Only The Musical! Brighton World Premier. Dust off your sequins and get ready to spend time with Drag Queen royalty in Expenses only The Musical! This new musical has been written by Andrew Stark, the writer of the ‘Alternative Pantomime’ which has played to sold out audiences in Brighton for the last 10 years. The story follows the adventures of Simon aka Gloria Whole, who has organised many Pride Cabaret Tents over the years, but this year might be his most challenging yet! Six Drag Queens, one stage manager and a ‘long-forgotten’ female vocalist join forces as they prepare to entertain a small crowd, in a small village in the UK as they hold their first ever Gay Pride event. They struggle through egos, failed dreams, sound issues, costume dramas, out of control tambourines and high heels to bring you the truth of what really happens behind the scenes at Pride. It comes complete with catchy tunes, dazzling costumes, stunning dance routines and contains more sequins than your recommend daily allowance! You’ll laugh, you’ll cry and sometimes both at the same time! The show stars, Eva Iglesias, a touring female vocalist and seen on TV in Britain's Got Talent. Jon Hughes is maybe better known as his alter ego Sally Vate and appears as Dame in pantomime. Ben Hathaway, tours the UK as his Drag persona Lucinda Lashes, Ben was also a blue coat entertainer. Chris Magdziarz performed in the Opening Ceremony of the 2012 Olympics, he has appeared in countless musicals and choreographed many more.
