Boy&Girl 2: Mercury Rising

The fun pop cabaret where gender is bent, swapped, toyed with and left deeply unsettled.

Overview

If you missed the first Boy&Girl back in April 2014, you can be excused. The seductive pop-fuelled cabaret was one of the surprise hits of the year, and it sold out – fast – just to prove it. If you miss the show this time around, however, you won’t be as easily forgiven. Oscar Theatre Company brings gender-bending back in Boy&Girl 2: Mercury Rising for a steamier second season, and we’re giving you fair warning.

Yes, the title intimates a raise in temperature, and with a bigger cast and bolder material, that’s hardly unexpected. A live band and an ensemble of over 30 singers and dancers will take to the stage to push boundaries – in performance, in physicality, and in who plays and sings which parts.

Everything from Chicago and Cabaret to Beyonce and Bruno Mars features among the soundtrack, instantly getting pulses racing. This is sexy subversion that you can sing along to. You’ve never seen musical theatre quite like it.
