Description
Summary:Many shows come to Broadway, having originated in London. One show taking London by storm is the critically acclaimed, Off West End sensation, Riot Act. Written and performed by Alexis Gregory, Riot Act is formed word-for-word from interviews with three key players in the history of the LGBTQ+ rights movement: Michael-Anthony Nozzi, a survivor of the Stonewall riots; Lavinia Co-op, an alternative '70s drag artist; and Paul Burston, a '90s Aids Activist. Gregory's verbatim solo powerhouse is a breath-taking, hard-hitting, yet hilarious wild white-knuckle ride through six decades of queer history.
