‘NIGHT OF THE QUEER has all the elements of a typical Cabaret – music, song, dance recitation and drama. However, there is nothing typical about it. NIGHT OF THE QUEER is the first fully scintillating, all rounded cabaret production that I have really enjoyed in ages, which well and truly had us sitting on the edge of our seats, both nervous and excited about what was coming next….NIGHT OF THE QUEER is a great production as a theatrical cabaret production… I sincerely hope that NIGHT OF THE QUEER continues to be an annual feature at TAPAC, giving both established and emerging artists the outlet to be themselves and show us how well and truly fabulous they can be.’
