REVIEW: Reuben Kaye @Soho Theatre, London

Fresh from his run of Australian fringe festivals, glamouriffic cabaret performer, Reuben Kaye, steps onto the stage at Soho Theatre in nothing less than an eruption of glitter and false lashes.

AN energetic and striking ex-musical theatre singer from down under, he now produces his own shows with the intention of crafting a new narrative for us queer folk.

Kaye takes the role of story teller. He is dripping (somewhat literally) with charisma, wit and pipes to be reckoned with as he sings about his time growing up a homosexual in a very heterosexual world.

With immense suspense and buildup, the show takes a dark turn, but not without an epic costume change!

There’s power in just how relatable Kaye’s story is and it’s evident that he takes it in his stride. Short, punchy, engaging – certainly a refined craftsman telling a story worth hearing.
