GIRLS WILL BE BOYS Jessica Walker & Joseph Atkins

Ever since male impersonators became the biggest stars of the English Music Hall and American Variety at the turn of the 20th Century, audiences and performers alike have thrilled at the illusion of the girl dressed as boy on stage.

Join Associate Artist Jessica Walker and pianist Joseph Atkins as they take you on a whistle-stop musical tour of cross-dressing in popular song, from the Victorian music hall, through the Weimar cabaret of 1920s Berlin and onto the musical stages of the later 20th century with numbers from Victor Victoria and Peter Pan – featuring songs After the Ball, Burlington Bertie, Victor Victoria, some Marlene Dietrich classics and much more! Part of our It’s A Drag season.
