Pretty Ugly at Sydney Fringe Festival tickets
About Pretty Ugly
Theo feels pretty... sometimes. Theo feels ugly... a lot.
Pretty Ugly is about what happens when Theo decides enough is enough. Blending song and story in an intimate, conversational setting, this solo show tackles those pesky inner-demons we all encounter: the ones that tell us we’re not attractive enough.
Expect an eclectic array of your favourite musical theatre songs reinterpreted (dare we say, queered?!) and plenty of laughs as Theo charts his adolescence in Singapore and his adventures around the world - including as an immigrant in the UK.
