RTThe Queer Gaze (Podcast)May 15, 2026

An unorthodox musical to say the least, but Greyson's playful repurposing of history, the queer rage and call to activism, and some surprisingly well staged numbers made this curiousity worth checking out.

It tries to affect the viewer on so many levels that it doesn't really work on any. By the end of its 90 minutes, my patience was worn down to zero, too.

A daring cinematic gem that contains at least three musical moments that deserve to go down in gay history.

Its heart is in the right place. Its art, unfortunately, is not.
