Little Johnny's Big Gay Musical

Pleasance Dome    5 - 30 August @ 22.00    Random Accomplice

Little Johnny’s Big Gay Musical is exactly what it says on the tin.
 
You can’t help but like this charismatic guy who skips us through snippets of his life up until his current age of thirty, who is gay, foul mouthed, single and still renting.

Probably like most of us as we approach thirty, we start asking ourselves what we have achieved and if this is as good as it gets. Johnny McKnight evidently needed to figure out his current status in life and has done so expressing himself through a camp, glittery show.
 
The set is a little extravagant but none-the-less beautiful and the lighting equally complemented it. The live musicians were excellent giving the songs that sophisticated jazz feel. 
 
The music was toe-tapping but some of the lyrics lacked wit. However most were entertaining with some great vocals from Natalie Toyne. A nice idea, and with a writer on board to help Little Johnny develop this show and his story telling, he could get the response at the end of his chapters he was looking for and deserved.
