in Concert
1 - 5 June 2010

With scattershot brilliance he uses his many talents to get us to listen, think and feel. The effect is heartening, vital and liberating... To borrow a Bowie song title, he is a Starman. Wickedly funny but never malicious, he literally bounces light — and enlightenment — out into the audience.

***** The Times

An entertaining and at times rather thrilling concoction'

**** Metro

In a rare UK appearance, the flamboyant and vocally gifted Obie award-winning New York performer returns to Soho Theatre for five nights only.

While praising Taylor Mac for his ukulele-playing and gender-bending performances, over 20 international publications have, of their own volition, described Mac as, ‘Ziggy Stardust meets Tiny Tim’. Being a queen who can take a hint, he has decided to write and perform an original conversation about the comparison, while singing Tiny Tim songs and David Bowie’s entire Ziggy Stardust album.  It promises to be a concert unlike any other.

With Lance Horne on piano.

'One of the most exciting theatre artists of our time'

Time Out New York

'The brilliant Taylor Mac'

'Quite the most distinctive and brilliant performer I've witnessed in ages'
***** Scotsman

'Taylor Mac seduces you, breaks your heart, patches it back up again and sews sequins along the scars'
Irish Times 

'A Pierrot figure for the modern age'

Daily Telegraph

Please note that this show has been changed from 'A Theory Queery' as earlier billed.

An award-winning international performance artist, Taylor Mac has performed around the globe, from the Sydney Opera House and San Francisco MOMA to New York’s Public Theatre. Taylor’s most recent play, The Lily’s Revenge, was rated the best play in 2009 by Time Out New York and Paper Magazine, and in the top ten lists of The New Yorker and The New York Post.
