Monarchy The Musical
Amity, vanity, royal insanity: A wickedly funny portrayal of the English Throne in song, Monarchy The Musical unpicks the rich tapestry of royal history, laying bare the lives of all the great monarchs, and their famous - and infamous - consorts, lovers and rivals.
Queen Elizabeth II is not amused.
“Imagine the farce of Black Adder and the Carry On movies ….and throw in some high camp musical comedy as well as a few moments of pathos and you have Monarchy: The Musical. ” Theatreview NZ.
