Cast recording for My Son’s a Queer (But What Can You Do?) announced
A cast recording of My Son’s a Queer (But What Can you Do?) will be released next month to coincide with the show’s first West End performance.
The piece, first seen last year, is based on Rob Madge’s childhood and recently proved a hit at the Edinburgh Fringe.
Madge said “I am so thrilled that the music of My Son’s A Queer (But What Can You Do?) is going to be released in the form of this album. As an avid collector of every West End musical cast recording growing up, the idea that our songs will now be released not only digitally but also physically makes me so very proud. As well as the music of My Son’s A Queer, I am delighted to say this album will feature exclusive bonus content, including extended monologues from the show and audio from a personal favourite of the home videos that appear’
