Review: QUEERSTORY THE MUSICAL, VAULT Festival
by Kat Mokrynski - March 16, 2023
Queerstory the Musical is a fantastic show that is both hilarious and informative. Mercury and Maxim do a wonderful job of combining humour and music while also remembering those who lived before us, fighting for queer rights and standing up for who they love. I look forward to attending more lectures with Professor Maxim and Mercury in the future!

Review: GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY (UK TOUR), New Wimbledon Theatre
by Franco Milazzo - March 15, 2023
If John Steinbeck had been asked to create a musical, it may have looked something like this.
