Meet Frank. A soon-to-be groom with a closet full of frocks. As he prepares to marry his beloved partner Alan, it’s time to make space in the wardrobe and donate his fabulous collection of iconic diva dresses to the V&A. If only he could part with them… Through the magical portal of his closet door, Frank retreats into a fantasy world where he is The Chairman of The Music Hall. Each diva visits him in turn, delivering a musical number (what else?) containing a gem of good - or at least well intentioned - advice. Mix in a quartet of dancing Gaiety Girls and glorious songs that straddle the British, Broadway (and Swedish) songbooks – and you have Frank’s Closet. But will frocks or fiancé ultimately triumph? Having achieved cult status during its sell-out run at The Union theatre earlier in the year, Frank’s Closet returns to its music hall roots at Wilton’s. A joyous, warm-hearted celebration of camp that will chime with anyone who’s ever felt torn between fantasy, responsibility and being yourself.
