".... easily the best camp deaf Northern cabaret ever." Critics’ Choice (Time Out)

No one remembers mousey old Sue, the undertaker from Bingley Bridge. No one knows she’s a Diva fanatic, until one day she is offered a cabaret spot at Harry’s Place.

"moving and very funny" (British Theatre Guide)

Overnight, Tammy Frascati is born and Sue finds herself hurtling to stardom and Las Vegas, signing the songs of her favourite Divas, Billie Holiday, Dusty Springfield, Ella Fitzgerald and Gloria Gaynor. But as success beckons Tammy, a handsome stranger pierces Sue’s heart. What does she do? Can she have both?

"A funny, touching, eye-opening and creative performance. " (Remote Goat)

Caroline Parker gives a virtuoso performance as Sue and her alter ego Tammy as she takes us on a journey of fame, frocks and false eyelashes battling with true love from Bingley Bridge.
