“A queer love story for our times.”

As part of SA’s 2025 Feast Festival, we are so very excited to host this award winning cabaret revue with an absolute stellar cast.

Playwright and composer Noël Coward and actress Gertrude Lawrence were lifelong friends, collaborators, icons of stage and song, and LGBTQIA+ stars of the early part of the 20th century. This musical revue celebrates their extraordinary lives and friendship with 22 absolute bangers: songs by Coward, Cole Porter, Rodgers and Hammerstein, Jerome Kern, and more. 

This show is funny, mischievous, moving, and superbly sung. Winner of the 2024 Adelaide Fringe Critics Circle Award, it sold out in Sydney performances and Adelaide’s 2024 Feast Festival.
