It’s vulgar, it’s audacious, it’s bordering on libel at times, but my god is it a riot!’
★★★★★, Theatre & Tonic

Riotous, chaotic, superbly silly and fantastically fun”
★★★★★, Midlands Rainbow

Send In The Clowns is a filthy, outrageous, and joyful drag revue show celebrating the magic and madness of musical theatre.

Isn’t it rich? Isn’t it queer? This time the Clowns are taking on their biggest challenge yet… ART! Yes that’s right, it’s finally time for the Clowns to meet their namesake and take on the ‘Shakespeare of Musical Theatre’, the man, the myth, the legend – Stephen Sondheim! Expect a celebration-cum-assassination of musical theatre’s greatest composer (sorry, Andrew), as the clowns get high…brow with a musical journey reimagining Sondheim’s life, legacy, and back catalogue.

Join your host cabaret superstar and “incredible vocal powerhouse” (West End Best Friend) Fatt Butcher alongside a stellar line-up of the midlands’ finest drag & cabaret talents including Dahliah Rivers, Blü Romantic, and Alanna Boden. Expect unique takes on favourites from Company, Sweeney Todd, Into The Woods, A Little Night Music, Gypsy, West Side Story, and whatever obscure stuff we dig out the back of the musical sofa bastardised beyond belief (not for the easily offended).

Returning to the Rep with their 10th original(ish) show, Send In The Clowns: Queeny Todd! promises an unforgettably raucous show packed with outrageous comedy, spine-tingling live vocals, camp cabaret, & sing-a-longs. Each show ends with the unmissable ‘twenty minute musical’, a drag recreation of a legendary musical rehearsed in two days and performed in 20(ish) minutes – chaos is guaranteed!
