Amazing Adventures of Her Majesty at 90+

Affectionate musical comedy about the world's longest-serving monarch. As told by Carole Shaw, the show's creator and star performer, this is the story of a thoroughly modern, fully empowered female role model -- she is a woman heading up a country, after all. This powerful, colourful lady head-of-state finally reveals her "all" to her people - her undying love for her dogs, the men in her life, her single-handed success at forging peace processes, her secret passion for motorbikes and her attempts to come out at 94 as a song-&-dance gal. Join the singing, dancing Queen for tea, cake and a riotous ride into hitherto unseen aspects of her life. Don't miss the regal, older woman's answer to Hannah Gadsby!

★★★ "A solid, warm performance with delightfully silly moments" The Reviews Hub
