Hedonistic, genre-bending, and gloriously theatrical, this queer reimagining of Giselle bursts with energy from start to finish. Blending cabaret, drag, lip-sync, and dance, the performance creates a vibrant patchwork of acts that revel in the messy joys of queer love and desire. The result is a show that feels more like a queer cabaret fever dream than a faithful retelling of the ballet, yet the central themes of love, betrayal, and loss of innocence remain. The ensemble is exceptional, and the choreography stands out with its blend of athleticism and storytelling. With its vivid soundscape and message of hope, ‘Giselle: Remix’ is unforgettable theatre.

Pleasance Courtyard, run ended.
