Lady Gaga to Help Bring 'My Son's a Queer' to Broadway

After making it big on London's West End, Lady Gaga is now helping to bring "My Son's a Queer" to the Great White Way.

As reported by Billboard, Rob Madge is partnering with Gaga's nonprofit, the Born This Way Foundation, to bring the show to NYC. What's more, the show will support initiatives around mental health for young people.

According to Billboard, there will be ongoing fundraisers for the show hosted by the Born This Way Foundation and promote Be There Certificate, an online mental health course centered around giving young people the tools to help someone dealing with mental health issues. Additionally, the fundraising will support the Channel Kindness initiative, which encourages young people to get involved in their communities.

First performed at London's Turbine Theatre on June 17, 2021, "My Son's a Queer (But What Can You Do?)" is Rob Madge's autobiographical solo show that recounts his experience growing up queer in a supportive family.

As Madge's family learns to accept them and understand what it means to be non-binary, Madge embarks on an ambitious one-person, Disney-themed revue in their childhood home.

"My Son's a Queer (But What Can You Do?)" earned a nomination for best entertainment or comedy play at the 2023 Laurence Olivier Awards for its run on the West End. Next, it is sure to make a splash on Broadway.

Look for preview performances of the show at the Lyceum Theater on Tuesday, Feb. 27. Opening night is reportedly set for Tuesday, March 12, and here's hoping Mother Monster graces us with her presence.
