Catch one of the TEN performances of “Q - the Songs of Martin & Biello” at The Walnut Street Theatre in June — as part of the Sixth Annual Philadelphia Gay & Lesbian Theatre Festival!
A musical revue originally written to celebrate Dan & Michael’s 25th anniversary as songwriters and life-partners, “Q” is loving, sexy, irreverent, and deeply joyous expression of life from an LGBT perspective — performed by an energetic ensemble of five - 2 women, 2 men, and the fabulous Tipsy – a self-described “transgoddess” who dispenses advice (“Q-tips”) with attitude and humor.
This production of “Q” Directed by Bill Felty
Musical Direction by Rob Blackwell
Starring: Amy Acchione, Aime Kelly, Michael Newman, Nicholas Park, and
Gregg Pica
