Vulvarine A New Musical - Kings Head / Lowry

[BurlyBeaR]

Bryony Buckle is astoundingly average. Her days are filled with mind numbing office work, thinking about lunch and lusting after Orson Bloom from IT. But following a dose of hormone therapy gone wrong and a well-timed bolt of lightning, Bryony gains superhero abilities and a brand-new persona.

Vulvarine, saviour of womankind.

Where is all the tampon tax going?

Who is The Mansplainer, and what is his evil plan?

Grab your tights, your spanx and your most supportive sports bra.

It’s hero time.

Running at the Kings Head now, then 3 nights at The Lowry in July.

I saw it last year and am going again later this week. Absolutely hilarious! I'd really recommend it.

I’m getting Toxic Avenger vibes?

I saw this at VAULT fest earlier this year and had SO much fun! Would definitely recommend. I believe they're taking this back to the Edinburgh Festival again as well, alongside a new musical of theirs - Unfortunate (about Ursula from Little Mermaid!) another one that I can't wait to see!

I saw this at Fringe last year and have seen their other shows as well: 'Buzz' and 'Beauty and the Beast' (parody). If you like pop culture/feminism/comedy then this company will be right up your street! Absolutely love this company!

Im tempted by the Friday night performance in the Lowry as that includes previews of a WIP musical. Could be fun and interesting.
Unfortunate at the Fringe does indeed look good.

Hope this is alright to post, if not mods feel free to delete! I'm running a competition on Twitter for 2 tickets to see Vulvarine while it's at the Kings Head so if anyone fancies entering...

Saw this again tonight, even funnier than when I saw it at the Vaults and the Kings Head Theatre is a lovely little theatre. It's there for one more week but they're also taking Vulvarine back to the EdFringe alongside their new show (Unfortunate) and I can't WAIT to see that one too!

Saw this earlier this week, having been sent an email with a (very small) discount code (almost totally erased by the "ticket collection fee" - which was the only option available to me, and I 'collected' a roughly 1 inch square piece of paper with my seat number written on it...).

I liked it - it took me a while to get into it, and it was only when I got home and had a google that I realised this was the same team behind 'Buzz', which I saw at The Lowry on it's last performance run.

It had some good tunes, and I loved that it was set in High Wycombe (is there any particular reason for that - is that where Fat Rascal are based?). Having now seen two of their productions, I wonder why no-one has picked up Fat Rascal for a residency, or to put their shows into slightly larger venues, or just into more places? They are making good (if niche) work, and it deserves a bigger audience.
