(The Family Players:
Greg Baptie Roland Stansell, Derek Pearce, and Allan Quihampton)
Some of the greatest divas over the last 100 years in
opera will be on stage as The Family Players send up the great operas in an
all-new comedy drag show titled Queens of
the Opera - Valentine Is Such A Drag.
The Family Players are Allan Quihampton, Derek Pearce, Greg
Baptie and Roland Stansell.
“Joining us on stage is first-timer Graham Goodwin, who
will be strutting his stuff in heels, and the voices of two hugely talented
singers, Krystle Temmerman and 12-year-old Alaska Hilton, will blow you away as
they take you on this musical journey. Expect to hear music from top West End
classic operas to modern musicals on Broadway. The drag Queens have opened
those closet doors to bring you some classic old drag numbers from the night
clubs of yesteryear,” says Stansell. “If you thought Valentine would be a drag,
do not miss this Valentine show!”
The show includes numbers like Miss Subway of 1952, All I Ask of You, Any Dream Will do, Cats, and
a classic comedy number from Cinderella
to name but a few.
Performances take place on February 13 and 14 at 20h00
and on February 15 at 14h00 and 18h30. The venue opens 90 minutes before show
