Fresh from a glittering run at the legendary Wilton’s Music Hall, Frank’s Closet is heading to London’s West End for two nights only this November.
This eccentric and high-camp love letter to musical theatre will see Hollyoaks star Andy Moss reprise his role as the titular character. It will be accompanied by a quartet of captivating Gaiety Girls and a multi-role Diva masterclass from Luke Farrugia.
Frank’s Closet brings the Divas who have inspired and guided Frank—including Julie Andrews, Judy Garland, and Agnetha Fältskog —to hilarious, uncanny, and often touching life.
On the eve of marriage to his beloved fiancé, Frank decided to donate his fabulous collection of dresses for iconic Divas to the V&A. As each dress is let go, the Divas who once wore them appear – as embodiments of Love Past, Present, and Future – to steady Frank’s wedding nerves and impart wise and wistful gems of advice.
Through a sparkling catalogue of original and heartfelt musical numbers composed by Stuart Wood, Frank faces his own feelings and fears as he looks back on the journey out of his personal closet and reflects with affection on those who held—and steady—his hand along the way.
“Frank’s Closet is a touching and hilarious tour through the camp history of gay icons…but the story is universal. We all wrestle with the pressure to compromise on the things that bring us joy. Where is that line between growing up and losing too much of the person you truly are?… Frank’s Closet is a luxuriously gay cruise through a century of camp with all the heart, laughs and dresses one could desire.”
