Unruly Hearts: Queer Stories in Musical Theatre
Through this collaboration with the iconic Berlin queer institution SchwuZ, we explored many facets of the queer experience as they’ve been reflected in musical theatre. We examined this community’s identity via the colours of the Pride rainbow, with live vocals and dance numbers from La Cage aux Folles, Billy Elliot, My Son’s A Queer (But What Can You Do?), Bare and many more favourite musicals.

Next to Normal
Pulitzer Prize-winning rock musical Next to Normal was nominated for eleven Tony Awards in 2009 and won three, including Best Original Score and Best Orchestration. Through gut-wrenching writing and storytelling by Brian Yorkey and a powerful score by Tom Kitt, audiences are granted a glimpse into the interior lives of this show's characters. Beneath this singular narrative lies an exploration of familial ties, romantic love, resilience, and the relentless pursuit of normalcy amidst life's chaos—a universally resonant story.

Heroes & Villains
We kicked off 2025 with a celebration of our favourite stories and the choices that drive them—the good, the evil, and the in-between. What makes a hero or a villain? When does someone cross the threshold from a hero’s journey into something darker? With classic songs from stage and screen, we explored the characters we love and the ones we love to hate.
