Original Australian Musical BUTCH MASTERS: MAN OF DESTINY Comes to Midsumma
Performing in the final week of the Midsumma festival, BUTCH MASTERS: MAN OF DESTINY is a hilarious celebration of musical theatre sexiness and rockin' power ballads.
With book, music & lyrics by emerging writer Jamie Burgess (Gobsmacked: Showbiz & Dating, Handsome Devil), the show tells the story of young Butch, a heterosexual born into a world where procreation has become a thing of the past and where everyone is glad to be gay!
Alongside Principal Sponsor Monash IVF, the show will provide a platform to demystify the myths surrounding becoming a sperm donor, and how the gay community can help ease the desperate shortage of donors so that same sex couples can fertalise their families! The men of the cast have even pledged to make substantial personal donations...
The season runs nightly at 8pm (4pm Sunday) from January 28th to February 6th at Alex Theatre St. Kilda, 135 Fitzroy Street -- book now at ticketek.com.au.
