Soaring coming-of-age drama

Choir Boy, written by Academy Award-winning writer Tarell Alvin McCraney and directed by Dino Dimitriadis and Zindzi Okenyo, is a powerful and moving story of sexuality, race, hope and a young gay man finding his voice.

It follows the journey of Pharus Young, a student determined to make his mark as the best choir leader in the 50-year history of Charles R. Drew Prep School for Boys, while facing the challenges of trying to conform to masculine expectations and gain the respect of the choristers he leads.

The production features uplifting music and electrifying dance routines and is threaded with soul-stirring a cappella tones.

Music Direction is by Allen René Louis, with a cast including Darron Hayes and Tony Sheldon (Priscilla, Queen of the Desert).

Choir Boy is a Tony Award® nominated musical drama and has won awards for Outstanding Vocal Arrangements, Best Sound Design of a Play, and Outstanding Music in a Play.

It has been highly acclaimed in its Australian premiere in Sydney and is now coming to QPAC for a strictly limited season. Don’t miss this inspiring production and the opportunity to raise your voice and cheer as one student boldly stands up to the traditions that seek to silence him!
