It’s one of the most legendary occasions in the history of a legendary venue – and now it’s being brought back to life at one of that same venue’s legendary ongoing weekly events.

A new musical will depict the night during the 1980s when Queen frontman Freddie Mercury and TV comedian Kenny Everett took their friend Princess Diana out to London’s oldest LGBTQ pub, the Royal Vauxhall Tavern – having first dragged her up as a boy.

The show, called Royal Vauxhall, is the brainchild of London cabaret scene favourite Desmond O’Connor (no relation to the mahogany-hued TV presenter), whose previous musicals include the satires Toxic Bankers and Failed States.

The cast includes Clive Selwyn (Dr Clive's Circus) Stuart Saint (from Dick! The Adult Panto and Toxic Bankers) and cabaret performer and RVT regular Claire Benjamin.

So they missed their cue - no Edelweiss but the show must go on! An absurd, glamorous, multi-genre show from this one-woman powerhouse of sultry vocals and 'ace off-the-wall characters' (Time Out). With solo shows at Leicester Square Theatre and the legendary Royal Vauxhall Tavern, Claire Benjamin has performed her musical comical characters at some of the UK's best venues, she continues to surprise and enchant with every performance. 'The funniest and most unpredictable (show) that the world has ever seen' (Out Magazine).

 The Voodoo Rooms @ 8:40pm for 55 minutes, 4-25th August (not 17,18,19)  PBH Free Fringe. Bucket donations welcome.
