Theo feels pretty... sometimes.
Theo feels ugly... a lot.
Pretty Ugly is about what happens when Theo decides enough is enough. Blending song and story in an intimate, conversational setting, this cabaret show tackles those pesky inner-demons we all encounter: the ones that tell us we’re not attractive enough.
Expect an eclectic array of your favourite musical theatre songs reinterpreted (dare we say, queered?!) and plenty of laughs as Theo charts his adolescence in Singapore and his adventures around the world - including as a student in the UK.
Tobi King Bakare and this theatre deserve a shout-out for such a young, diverse audience. There is so much talk about audiences being full of over 60s and why, why can’t theatres get the crowds in to reflect society in general? Well, I’m happy to say that on a rainy Thursday evening, the theatre was completely full.
