Performed at the Judith Wright Centre in Brisbane's Fortitude Valley, the show comprised a selction of performances linked by the theme of the gay identity

Notes

    • Chris Maver's performance contributions to the show comprised songs (accompanied by Gary Nunn) and a parody of his own struggles - told within the story of a princess (who is really a queen).
    • Simon Chan performed his original songs 'Gaysian' and 'Everybody’s Got the Right to Be Racist.'
    • Michaela Shea, as Sister Mary, sang a song about the joys of celibacy.
    • Singer Jo Doyle performed a selection of musical numbers accompanied by Ruth Gardiner (guitar).
    • Divo Sock and Sophia Woods of Switch Physical Theatre performed a combination physical theatre and circus piece titled 'Bent.'
    • The final piece, another dance/circus piece, was presented by Fez Fa’anana and Mark Windmill. In this Fa’anana rapped to some of the set dances.
    • See Michaela Shea (Sister Mary) sing her song about the joys of celibacy on YouTube.
