*Oh, Mary!* sports a who's who of queer talent: Non-binary writer/performer [Cole Escola](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/cole-escola), known for the TV show *Search Party*, is a 2025 Tony Award nominee for writing and starring in this irreverent comedy about the life of Mary Todd Lincoln. [Conrad Ricamora](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/conrad-ricamora) and [James Scully](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/james-scully), who appeared on screen together in the gay rom-com *Fire Island*, co-star as Mary's Husband and Mary's Teacher.

The campy, critically acclaimed show takes place in the weeks before Abraham Lincoln's assassination, when alcoholism, desire, and a fierce longing to be a cabaret performer turn Mary's life upside down.

Oh, Mary!

Shall we go for it? This campy parody musical is a kooky retelling of James Cameron's film *Titanic* through the character of Celine Dion, set to Dion's catalog of timeless hits. Multiple queer actors have appeared in *Titanique*, and it's by the all-queer writing team of Tye Blue, Constantine Rousouli, and Marla Mindelle.

Jack and Rose may be a straight couple, but *Titanique* is a love letter to the LGBT+ community, with plenty of references to queer pop culture, updated regularly as new trends go viral. New York Theatre Guide's [four-star review calls *Titanique*](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/reviews/titanique-off-broadway-review) "as much a love letter to the *Titanic* movie as it is to the people obsessed with that movie: pop culture-savvy, queer theatre kids, or so the creators presume from experience [...] Older and/or less theatre-obsessed audiences will find more of their enjoyment in the recreations of all the major *Titanic* movie moments and the Dion hits that score the show."

For four performances only, from June 12-15, British performer Rob Madge finally brings their solo show to New York after a 2024 Broadway premiere got postponed indefinitely. With colorful costumes, reenactments of moments from their childhood, home videos, and original songs, Madge pays homage to their family, who supported their early interests in Disney and theatre and, later, their non-binary identity.

My Son's a Queer (But What Can You Do?)

All we need to say is that *Death Becomes Her* opens with a song called "For the Gaze," and yes, it sounding like "for the gays" is intentional. The Meryl Streep/Goldie Hawn film of the same name has gained a large cult following of queer fans since its 1992 premiere, and that song is a love letter to them as well as a plain entertaining showstopper (complete with half a dozen costume changes) for everyone else. And the musical — about feuding frenemies who drink an eternal-youth potion with consequences — only gets more hilarious from there.

Death Becomes Her

*Queen of Hearts* is a burlesque variety show based on the classic children's tale of *Alice in Wonderland*. People don't often associate that story with LGBT themes, and that's still not the core focus of this sexy, adult version. But Alice gets tempted by all the wild wiles of Wonderland — including magical creatures of all genders and persuasions. Anything is possible in Wonderland, the show seems to say. You don't have to be mad to be there — just curious, playful, and open-minded.

For even more burlesque fun, go right across the street from *Queen of Hearts* to *Cocktail Magique*, a variety show that combines magic, mixology, and more. 

Performers of all genders serve up circus-like entertainment, intoxicating illusions, and plenty of libations. Yes, you get to drink along; every ticket type includes at least one cocktail distributed throughout the performance. Everyone gets a few snacks and access to plenty of water, too.

It's gonna be you that sees *& Juliet* this June. In this nine-time Tony-nominated musical, Juliet — of *Romeo & Juliet* fame — decides not to die when Romeo does but instead ditches Verona for Paris in search of a new life and love.

*& Juliet* features characters old and new, and among the new characters is May, Juliet's non-binary pal who finds a star-crossed love of their own with the romance-challenged Francois. Not only is the show a celebration of all kinds of love, but it's simply a party. *& Juliet* is set to 30 chart-topping hits by songwriter/producer [Max Martin](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatre-news/news/how-max-martin-shaped-and-juliet-on-its-road-to-broadway) (the man behind "...Baby One More Time," "Since U Been Gone," "I Want It That Way," and much more) and electric dancing by queer, two-time Tony-nominated choreographer [Jennifer Weber](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/theatre-news/interviews/choreographer-jennifer-weber-proves-her-versatility-on-broadway).

& Juliet

"No matter your desire, you're welcome here, for this is more than a nightclub. The Moulin Rouge is a state of mind." These lines from this musical's opening number set the tone immediately: Everyone can escape the outside world when they enter the iconic French hotspot by way of the [Al Hirschfeld Theatre](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/venues/al-hirschfeld-theatre) and freely be their most authentic selves. Pleasure, glamour, and fabulosity are the name of the game at this 10-time Tony-winning Best Musical adapted from Baz Luhrmann's film.

See the timeless love story of the writer Christian and showgirl Satine in 1899 Paris, set to more than 40 pop hits by artists ranging from Elton John to Lady Gaga. There's no better time than Pride Month to see a story that celebrates true love persisting against all odds.

At opening night, one *Pirates! The Penzance Musical* cast member told us they'd recommend the show to *RuPaul's Drag Race* fans. No doubt that's because [Jinkx Monsoon](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/jinkx-monsoon), the only two-time *Drag Race* winner, stars in the show as pirate queen Ruth alongside [David Hyde Pierce](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/david-hyde-pierce), [Ramin Karimloo](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/ramin-karimloo), and more. This *Pirates of Penzance* revival sets the silly action in New Orleans, with all the color and energy of a Mardi Gras parade — or a Pride parade.

Through July 20, country music star [Orville Peck](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/orville-peck) is your host at the *Cabaret*, starring as the Emcee opposite Broadway favorite [Eva Noblezada](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/eva-noblezada). Following in the footsteps of other celebrated gay stars like Joel Grey, Alan Cumming, and [Adam Lambert](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/adam-lambert), Peck presides over Berlin's Kit Kat Club, where everyone of every persuasion is welcomed — until they're not. This classic musical blends nightclub-style entertainment with a gripping, urgent storyline of the gradual rise of fascism in a once-safe space.

If there's one thing people of all stripes can agree on, it's the powerhouse talent of [Bernadette Peters](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/bernadette-peters) and [Lea Salonga](https://www.newyorktheatreguide.com/stars-on-stage/lea-salonga). The two theatre titans lead a 20-person cast in this revue celebrating Stephen Sondheim, an influential gay theatre composer and one of the most iconic Broadway composers, period.

Dueling divas, dirty deeds, and dancing chorus boys: Who could ask for anything more from a Broadway musical comedy? *Smash*, loosely adapted from the same-named NBC show, takes audiences into rehearsals for a Marilyn Monroe musical, which is shaken by every kind of behind-the-scenes drama you can think of. The show is a smashing good time, featuring the hit songs from the TV series, like the Emmy-winning "Let Me Be Your Star."

This reimagined production of Andrew Lloyd Webber's classic musical is a celebration of queer history, set in the NYC ballroom scene. In the late 20th century, queer people, largely those of color, would gather to compete in "balls" for prizes and glory. They would often compete on behalf of houses — groups of people who became each other's chosen family.

In *Cats*, the characters compete to see who will ascend to the blissful Heaviside Layer and get a chance at new life. This revival, an Off-Broadway hit in 2024, is teasing an NYC return, so keep an eye out for more information in Pride month and beyond.

Big Leap Productions presents The One-Man Star Wars Trilogy, Charles Ross' one-man re-enactment of the original star-wars trilogy, at the Lambs Theatre from the 2 Aug - 31 Oct 2005. Imagine Luke Skywalker, Princess Leia, C3PO, Chewbacca and R2D2 - all on-stage, all performed by one actor. Charles Ross, the writer and solo performer, plays all the characters, recreates the effects, sings the music, flies the ships, wields the swords and fights both sides of the battles. Ross spent much of his childhood in a galaxy far, far away, while his adulthood has been similar. LucasFilms, creator of the Star Wars Trilogy, loved the show so much that they hired Charles Ross to promote the upcoming Star Wars film and appear at Celebration III, the officially sanctioned Star Wars Convention. David Peisner of Spin Magazine says 'this one-man reenactment of Star Wars is nerdier, and funnier, than you can possibly image.' The One-Man Star Wars Trilogy is directed by TJ Dawe and produced by Big Leap Productions with lighting design by Mike Schaldmose.
