About this show
Lights! Cameras! Maggie! Mrs Thatcher goes to Hollywood to play herself in a musical remake of the Iron Lady and a Prime MiniSTAR is born! Will Maggie pull herself up by her bra straps or be trampled down by the man? And will she find a moment to ugly-cry so she can win an Oscar? A drag musical romp from the producer of Unfortunate and Olivier Award-winners behind Kathy and Stella Solve a Murder. 'Hilarious camp with political punch' (Times). * (Attitude.co.uk).

This is more than an excellent drag performance; it’s more than a hilarious satirical comedy show; it’s more than a theatrical nod to storytelling.

Margaret Thatcher Queen of Hollywood is a musical, telling the imagined story of what might have happened if, after she'd stopped being Prime Minister, Thatcher had gone to Hollywood.
Given the fact the entire audience in Scotland were on their feet at the end this is an Iron Lady you won’t want to miss.
