Cult queer musical Frank’s Closet returns to London, playing at the West End’s Arts Theatre.

This high-camp, witty and poignant show by Stuart Wood explores the conflict between fantasy and responsibility, and liberty and conformity, that will chime with anyone who’s ever experienced the joys and terrors of making a lifetime of commitment.

Frank’s Closet uses Musical Hall as a device to frame the action, including magic, puppetry, song and dance, in a show full of wit and heart.

Don’t miss this witty and heartfelt show.

Frank’s Closet is playing at the Arts Theatre in London on 3 and 17 November 2024.

Frank teeters on the precipice of marriage to his beloved Alan, who has given him an ultimatum – he must give up the toys and joys of singledom, and donate his fabulous collection of the dresses of iconic divas to the V&A. Amidst continual calls from Alan, his mother, and once (briefly) his father, Frank retreats into a fantasy world where he is The Chairman of The Music Hall.

Through the magical portal of his closet door, the divas visit him in turn, aided and abetted by a quartet of Gaiety Girls. Each diva delivers a musical number containing a gem of good, or at least well intentioned, advice. But will frocks or fiancé ultimately triumph…?
