In the small Somerset town of Little Malden, a group of parents meet in a support group for those raising queer children. When they find themselves unexpectedly organising a parents’ float for the town’s firstever Pride parade, they must confront their own beliefs, biases and fears in their determination to show up for their kids.
Written by Micha Mirto and Jordan Paul Clarke, RAISING GAYS is a brand new musical about those parents frantically googling pronouns, Pride flags and purple hair dye in a well-meaning – but often misjudged – endeavour to support their children.
The stakes could not be higher. There’s no manual and a hundred different ways to mess it all up.
Brimming with humour and heart – and completely gorgeous tunes – RAISING GAYS is a musical for everyone who’s ever had a kid (or a parent).
With a phenomenal cast of Damian Humbley, Sarah Ingram, Melanie La Barrie, Michael Matus, Joanna Riding and Sydney Sainté this is a script-inhand concert reading, with piano.
Join us during London Pride weekend for our very first public sharing of this exciting new show – come along, we want to hear what you think!
