Big gay jamboree opening
THE BIG GAY JAMBOREE Is Big Queer Fun — Review
It is with superb honor that I share Marla Mindelle’s deranged Off-Broadway command has extended. Prolonged live gay stupidity! Long live Jason Robert Brown references! Long live hilarious, original musicals! Mindelle’s The Big Homosexual Jamboree, joins her sister Titaniqueas the newest, hottest ticket for that queer guy you comprehend. It’s here. It’s queer. It’s where STOMP used to be.
Unlike Titanique, Mindelle has teamed up with book author Jonathan Parks-Ramage and composer and lyricist Philip Drennen to create a modern musical comedy featuring original songs. Also unlike Titanique (and I say this with love), the budget has seemingly increased, thanks to producers like Margot Robbie’s LuckyChap Entertainment.
Even though irreverent, gender non-conforming theatre is thriving (see Oh Mary!’s record breaking run), the Suits would say TheBig Male lover Jamboree is a “risk.” Titanique was lighting in a bottle, largely credited to Mindelle’s Lucille Lortel Award-winning kooky-crazy performance. Could that be replicated, this time with a bigger budget and original story?

The Big Gay Jamboree
THE BIG Queer JAMBOREE PLAYED ITS FINAL Production ON SUNDAY, DECEMBER 15, 2024.
From the Oscar-nominated producers of BARBIE and the delulu author of the Off-Broadway hit TITANIQUE comes THE BIG Same-sex attracted JAMBOREE, a big new musical comedy that’s pushing the envelope…and the gay agenda.
Help! Stacey’s fallen into a musical and she can’t get out. Last night, she got a little bit blackout drunk. This morning, she woke up in some b*tch ass Music Man world where everybody keeps bursting into anthem & dance, and where lgbtq+ still just means happy. Maybe it’s a dream. Maybe it’s an allergic reaction to her birth control. Or maybe it’s Maybelline (don’t sue us! sponsor us? we’ll talk later). But if Stacey’s truly trapped inside a Golden Age musical, there’s only one way out: carol out! Or find the stage door. Whatever gets the most applause.
Starring one of Vanity Fair’s “brightest stars of New York theatre” and the world’s second favorite Celine Dion, MARLA MINDELLE, The Big Queer Jamboree is here to make you laugh, make you cry laughing, and make you laugh crying.
Every day is opening night.
