Starring Rocky Horror’s Dr. Frank-N-Furter JOHN O’HARA with Andrew Kroenert

Brought to you by the team behind last year’s Rocky Horror Show!

Tour de force performer John O’Hara (The Rocky Horror Show, School of Rock, Priscilla Queen of the Desert, Wicked) returns to Hobart with his brand-new cabaret. #VAL pays homage to the incredible women who continue to walk with the LGBTQIA+ community in an ongoing quest for equality.

Inspired by his own mum, Val, John explores the role mothers play in the lives of children who are a little bit different, often before they know it themselves. Set against the pop-tastic hits of his own childhood and subsequent sexual awakening, John will encourage his audience to relax, drink and kiki with him around the ‘camp’ fire, shining a light on the wonderful women (and sometimes men) we call ‘mother’.

Featuring an eclectic soundtrack of iconic pop songs that have led the way for change and diversity through the ages by Lady Gaga, Cher, George Michael, Sam Smith, Adele and even a little Farnsy.

Having taken Hobart by storm in 2021 with his performance as Dr. Frank-N-Furter in John X Presents’ smash-hit production of The Rocky Horror Show, John O’Hara’s #VAL is a cabaret you won’t want to miss!

John says of the show: “You’ll laugh, you’ll cry and you’ll definitely leave with glitter in your undies!”
 

#VAL is written and performed by John O’Hara, directed by Shaun Rennie with musical direction and arrangements by Andrew Kroenert.
