If you thought that GRINDR was just a hook-up site for quickies, you may be shocked to discover that there are parts of it that take/last longer.   We are thinking in particular of GRINDR THE OPERA.  Yes, you are reading that right…..an Opera!  And not to be confused with GRINDR THE MUSICAL that came (quickly) and went back in 2015

Now, although QUEERGURU has just come across Grindr The Opera, it isn’t in fact new as it won Best New Musical, Off West End Awards back in 2019.  However this ‘Unauthorised Parody” is going on a UK National Tour starting June 18th in London ……here are the Tour Dates  BUT we guess yoi can can always go on the Grindr site to see how close the nearest one is, as usual.

The Press Release explains:”Through the experiences of four gay men who use Grindr to connect with each other, Grindr: The Opera! offers a satirical commentary on modern gay culture.  Devon the romantic, Tom the cynic, Jack the twink and Don the daddy meet via the medium of the Grindr app, each seeking a different type of connection.

You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, and you’ll be challenged to think deeply about the ways in which technology is shaping our lives and relationships.  But above all, Grindr: The Opera! will make you feel alive. With its infectious energy, dynamic performances, and unforgettable characters, this production will leave you feeling inspired, entertained, and maybe even a little bit hopeful about the future of human connection.”
