I always think of this performance by Angela Lansbury. Sublime in its simplicity. She provided the soundtrack to so many childhoods. Her storytelling was incomparable. Rest well, Mrs Potts.

Would the people of Twitter spare a moment to wish my amazing mum a happy birthday. If every LGBTQ+ child had her, the world would be greater. She even got a job as a dinnerlady at my school to help me when I was being bullied. She is a fierce ally & friend & deserves the world❤️

I am truly blessed to have a Dad who nurtured and supported a little boy that wanted to be The Little Mermaid. He is the most patient man (and stagehand) and I’m so very grateful he puts up with me. Happy Father’s Day @JonDMaggio #HeDoesntListenToAWordISay #BigJump

I am so heartbroken to hear the news about Gavin Creel. He was wonderfully warm, kind and immensely talented - he was my Bert in Mary Poppins and took this theatre loving kid under his wing. Will never forget him buying Krispy Kreme’s for all the kids every single Saturday.💔

I had an awful time at primary school but there was a certain dinnerlady who was always so lovely and she recently had a read of my play. She sent my mum a letter and got my pronouns right. Bit teary.

Farewell, Tab Hunter. One of the first to live his truth as a gay man in Hollywood, at a time when homophobia ruled supreme. "I don't care whether people like me or dislike me. I'm not on earth to win a popularity contest. I'm here to be the best human being I possibly can be."

hey @ZARA can I ask why it was so difficult for me to use your fitting rooms? you said “sir, this is the womenswear fitting room” so you sent me up to menswear, who then tried to send me back to womenswear to try them on. It’s a pair of fucking trousers. Utterly humiliating.

A video I didn’t think I’d put on here but my Grandad, “grandfather extraordinaire” passed away suddenly this morning. His brilliance stretched beyond building puppet theatres. Last thing he said to me was “keep up the good work”. Will do, Gramps.

Not sure I should share this but I will because I’m relieved I don’t feel this way now. Last week I came close to ending my life. It was my lowest moment but I feel out of the darkness now & have a desperate need to encourage anyone feeling similar to take a breath. It WILL pass.

When I was 13 I wrote a full length musical of Bedknobs and Broomsticks, put it in a ring binder and sent it to Cameron Mackintosh who politely rejected it. I’m glad the industry has finally caught up.

Last day. Saying thanks to my family in a show has been the greatest honour of my life. I hope people have maybe seen a little bit of themselves in the story. Above all, I hope people have seen that queerness can be so bloody joyful. If you’ve come to watch, thank you. ❤️

Hiya. Just to say I don’t have ‘preferred’ pronouns. My pronouns are not ‘preferred’, they ARE my pronouns. Just like if you were to say “ooh Boris Johnson PREFERS he/him pronouns”. He does not ‘prefer’ he/him pronouns, he simply IS he/him/cunt. thank you.
