It’s very difficult not to notice Qya Cristál in Ptown : she is not only the hardest working performer with her packed schedule of sold-out show’s but she is also the most talented and brightest star in Town. It is a sheer joy to watch her blossom and shine in a style that puts many of the visiting big named Broadway stars to shame. We caught up with her during a brief break at Crown and Anchor where she really is The Queen Of The Night
In Randy Robert’s latest show “One Of The Girls who’s One Of The Boys‘ he knocks it out of the ballpark with his excellent impersonations of the likes of Joan Rivers and of course his fabulous Cher. However, for Queerguru the show goes to an even higher plane when he’s performing as himself again.
Last night he had the audience in raptures with his take on the Sondheim classic The Ladies Who Lunch. But it was what followed that had us all up on our feet.
It was a queer patriotic song that Randy Roberts makes her very own in her show that was originally sung in the award-winning Off-Broadway musical known as Howard Crabtree’s When Pigs Fly in honor of the theatrical wizard who created it. The year was 1996 when the AIDS pandemic had unleashed a whole new wave of homophobia and this very clever ditty reminded everyone “You Need US to Make The U.S.A.” Sadly Crabtree died of AIDS one week before the Show’s premiere: but this witty rousing song lives on ……in this case thanks to Randy Roberts
Ray Whitehouse talks to Queerguru about his debut feature film A RUN FOR MORE a compelling documentary about a charismatic Texan transgender woman and her campaign to be elected for the rough District 8 of San Antonio’s City Council in the US’ most transphobic State and in the middle of a very dangerous political climate. There are very few stories that are so inspiring and uplifting as FRANKIE GONZALES- WOLFE‘s.
The film was screened at Wicked Queer Boston’s LGBTQ+ Film Festival and here is our full review HERE.
Robbie Lawlor is one of the central characters in this excellent hybrid documentary HOW TO TELL A SECRET about how millennials deal with their HIV status in contemporary Ireland. It opens with a reenactment of 21-year-old Shaun Dunne waiting for the arrival of his ex-boyfriend Robbie who is about to tell him that he has been diagnosed with HIV. It’s some years since 1996 when the arrival of protease inhibitors so it meant that this was no longer a death sentence, but even so these young men suffered from the sheer ignorance that Irish society had maintained.
