The Sound of Music Drag Show

How do you solve a problem like Maria? Well take all the glitter and Lamee in the world and you’ve got a start. Then throw in six drag queens, mixed with a pinch of Pricilla and take it to the Edinburgh fringe.

You all know the story. Girl leaves convent to be governess for four children (seven wouldn’t fit on stage) with an overbearing father, a love rival Baroness and some pesky Nazis to overcome before they can all live happily ever after. Oh and don’t forget that they still have to sing in Eurovision too. Poor Maria! No wonder she’s tired. This drag production has a slightly different interpretation to the original musical due to time constraints, and, well, just for the hell of it. Its cheeky and irreverent homage will have you singing and dancing along.

A great night seems almost guaranteed. If you feel like it, go in costume.

Reviews by Terry Gilliland

Since you’re here…

… we have a small favour to ask. We don't want your money to support a hack's bar bill at Abattoir, but if you have a pound or two spare, we really encourage you to support a good cause. If this review has either helped you discover a gem or avoid a turkey, consider doing some good that will really make a difference.

You can donate to the charity of your choice, but if you're looking for inspiration, there are three charities we really like.

Mama Biashara
Kate Copstick’s charity, Mama Biashara, works with the poorest and most marginalised people in Kenya. They give grants to set up small, sustainable businesses that bring financial independence and security. That five quid you spend on a large glass of House White? They can save someone’s life with that. And the money for a pair of Air Jordans? Will take four women and their fifteen children away from a man who is raping them and into a new life with a moneymaking business for Mum and happiness for the kids.

Theatre MAD
The Make A Difference Trust fights HIV & AIDS one stage at a time. Their UK and International grant-making strategy is based on five criteria that raise awareness, educate, and provide care and support for the most vulnerable in society. A host of fundraising events, including Bucket Collections, Late Night Cabarets, West End Eurovision, West End Bares and A West End Christmas continue to raise funds for projects both in the UK and Sub-Saharan Africa.

The Blurb

How do you solve a problem like Maria? ... You camp it to the hills with more glitter and gaudy costume changes than a Kylie concert. Priscilla hits the hills in this delicious drag show.
