Cherrie knows they’ve finally come for her at the Club.
The Narrow Minders – human machines with a loathing distaste for art (and especially fabulous free-spirited Drag Queens) break into her dressing room to remove Cherrie from the imagination. She has no choice but to smash through the dressing room mirror to escape the grasp of fear and prejudice.
Cherrie suddenly finds herself in a different Universe where she is faced with the ultimate choice – do we confront our fears and fight for what’s right or avoid them and diminish into the ether?
A brand-new musical with an original score, Mirrorball celebrates creativity, authenticity and the power of the imagination to make a better world for ourselves.
Based on the real-life experiences of Matt Cavan and his drag persona Cherrie Ontop, Mirrorball explores the immense potential of creativity when our worlds are turned upside down by life circumstances.
Running from 14th-21st September at the Lyric Theatre, Belfast
