Life is a QUEER Cabaret! an evening of musical theatre & queer joy

  • Dorothy 2500 West Chicago Avenue Chicago, IL, 60622 United States (map)

Life Is A Queer Cabaret is back at Dorothy's to celebrate Pride Month with a night of musical theatre and queerness!

This cabaret invites performers to challenge traditional musical theatre gender norms in a celebration of queer expression. What does it mean for Cabaret’s Emcee to be played by a woman? For Jack Kelly to be queer? For Audrey or Seymour to be played by trans actors?

Identities hold significance and power, and with a backlog of many cis, often straight or straight-assumed characters, there is value in exploring and changing the narrative.
