Dolls & Guys

Grab your favourite seat upstairs at Ginger’s — a cozy nook within The Oxford Hotel — where musical theatre gets a playful, queer twist. This is a night of reimagined classics, delivered with charm, wit, and a dash of theatrical flair by a talented lineup of local performers. Whether you're a long-time fan of stage shows or just curious, this is a warm, inclusive space to laugh, sing along, and enjoy fresh takes on beloved characters — all backed by the nimble fingers of John Milligan on piano.

Expect a relaxed, intimate vibe — think lounge seating, soft lighting, and the kind of crowd that cheers just as loudly for a showstopper as they do for a well-timed joke. The performers, all local talents, bring their own personalities to these iconic roles, turning familiar moments into something new and unexpectedly joyful. No need to dress up — come as you are, whether that’s in your Sunday best or your comfiest jeans.

Brought to you by Big Gay Piano Bar, a community-focused group known for blending musical talent with lighthearted LGBTQ+ celebration. Their events are less about spectacle and more about shared moments — a space where everyone’s welcome, and nobody’s expected to be perfect. This one’s for the theatre lovers, the sing-alongers, the curious, and the just-here-for-the-piano. Whether you’ve seen every West End show or haven’t set foot in a theatre since high school, you’ll find something to smile about.

Performers:

• John Milligan (piano)
