Alongside the incredible garments, we have gathered a next-level cast – a group of beautifully diverse performers who will deliver a boundary-pushing performance.

“Our creative team have also pushed themselves into ‘the beyond’. The show will be fabulous, full of joy and creativity, and loads of fun.”
