Showing at Teatru Manoel in Valletta, Malta’s National Theatre, this crowd-pleasing, rollicking and heart-warming musical about family, commitment, show biz and drag remains one of musical theatre’s all-time biggest hits on Broadway and in the West End.
With its book by Harvey Fierstein and music and lyrics by Jerry Herman, it is based on the 1973 French play by Jean Poiret and tells the incredibly funny and moving story of a gay couple who own and perform at a Saint-Tropez nightclub for drag entertainment, as they meet and try to impress the ultra-conservative parents of their son’s fiancée.
