Marla Mindelle, co-creator of the hit musical Titanique, has debuted a new Off-Broadway musical titled The Big Gay Jamboree.
Described as an outrageous new comedy, the musical promises to entertain with its unique blend of humor and theatricality.
The story follows Stacey, played by Mindelle, who wakes up hungover in a 1940s Golden Age musical and must use her theater skills to escape while a live audience watches.
The Big Gay Jamboree officially opened on September 30, 2024, at the Orpheum Theatre and will conclude its performances on December 15, 2024.
New York Theatre Guide praised the show for its humor and vibrant charm, highlighting its satirical take on traditional Broadway tropes.
The musical is produced by Sue Wagner, John Johnson, and LuckyChap, the company co-founded by Margot Robbie, which has been developing the project for film since 2019.
David Dabbon provides musical supervision and arrangements for the production.
The cast includes notable actors such as Alex Moffat as Keith, Paris Nix as Clarence, and Constantine Rousouli as Bert, alongside Mindelle.
The creative team features set design by dots, costume design by Sarah Cubbage, and sound design by Justin Stasiw, among others.
