The Wild Party presented by UCLU Musical Theatre Society UCLU Musical Theatre society presents Lachiusa's 'The Wild Party'. To be performed in London's Bloomsbury Theatre 28th-30th of November.
Gin. Sin.

Skin. Manhattan decadence in the 1920's provides the backdrop for this tough musical fable; The Wild Party tells the captivating story of Queenie and Burrs as they live their lives as deluded vaudeville performers.On a lazy Sunday morning, Queenie, a dazzling but jaded dancer, finds that her relationship with Burrs, a deeply frustrated, violent minstrel performer, needs some energy. Together, they

decide to throw a party that they will never forget.As the night progresses, we meet a diverse set of outcasts: a seemingly happy in*******al couple; a cocaine-sniffing bisexual casanova; an incestuous brother-act; a le***an stripper and her morphine-addicted girlfriend; a diva of indeterminable age and infinite life-experience; a naïve fourteen-year old girl who yearns for the lights of Broadway; and Black, the suave new boyfriend of Queenie's aggressive best friend, Kate. As the night unfolds, the gin-soaked party rages to a mounting sense of threat as artifice and illusion are stripped away. When midnight debauchery leads to tragedy at dawn, the parade of personalities you witness crash with a sobering thud, reminding us that no party lasts forever. Director: Shafeeq Shajahan
Producer & Assistant Director: Tirion Jenkins

REVIEWS:
Here are some of the things that were said about The Wild Party

★★★★ ½ from Pi Media

"The Wild Party proved to be one of the best productions of the academic year; with a strong cast, catchy tunes, and clear aesthetic vision"

"Queenie, played by Hayley Bater, and Burrs, played by Jack Aaron who stole the show. With their unfaltering vocals that showed great control and diversity – jumping from jazz-style numbers to emotionally charged solos – and captivating stage presence, this pairing added a great sense of professionalism to the whole production."

"The Wild Party proved to be a highly enjoyable show that engaged fully with the audience, inviting us into this surreal spectacle and ending the Bloomsbury winter season with a bang"

★★★★ from The London Tab

"The immaculately costumed company have a tremendous chemistry about them, and through their physical and musical dexterity present the decadence of the Jazz Age with engaging vitality"

"The breadth and depth of talent on show ensured an emotive and layered performance"

"It would be remiss of me not to acknowledge the solid work done by the accompanying musicians, who give a faultless rendition of a lively score"

"a fantastic and well-executed student production, and is well worth a fiver"
