I have tickets to see 'Everybody's Talking About Jamie', a musical about a boy becoming a drag queen, in April and I'm thinking about going en femme. I think it would be appropriate in this case as I've previously been to see Priscilla, Queen of the Desert and there were a couple of cross-dressers there. Thoughts? I might add that the production is sold out so there will be upward of a thousand people in close proximity and keeping out of the way of other people will be impossible. I like the idea but once there, the die is cast, there will be no backing out.

Would you go en femme to this show?

@rebeccabaxter I've booked to see it in April with the mrs.  Looking forward to it.  But I will be in drab.

Just go as you'd like to go. I've been to the theatre and a couple of concerts as Cerys. Not drag/trans/CD events, just normal nights out. I guess if you are nervous, a show about crossdressing would be a good "cover", but generally, people won't notice you and will just carry on.

See how you feel on the night, and do what makes you happy.

 

Cerys.

@rebeccabaxter I think the answer has to be “why not?” Especially in your case.

Hi Becca,  Just do it!  It will be fun and you will enjoy being you!  I dressed for Rocky Horror recently and expected many others would.  Well, it was older crowd and they weren’t playing the part unfortunately, but I’m glad I went as Brandy anyways.  Best wishes for you, Brandy

@rebeccabaxter About 10 years ago I went en femme to Broadway to see Casa Valentina, a play by Harvey Fierstein about crossdressers in the mountains north of New York City (based on Casa Susanna). This was after spending much of the day in New York en femme.

A few years after that, I went en femme with my daughter to see Kinky Boots, a play based on a real story of a shoe factory that was going under until they started producing kinky boots for drag queens. This was an interesting day because I wore boots with 4 inch heels, and my daughter had to do an assignment at a museum before that. So I had to walk around the museum in the heels (and do a lot of sitting!) Then when we were heading back towards Broadway, she tells me her friend and her friend's mom were heading in to see a different Broadway play. So we headed to the bus station (it is just outside the Broadway district), where we had to wait for them about 45 minutes before going to dinner together, and later going to see our separate plays.

Her friend had seen me dressed before, but her mom did not. She (the mom) knew I was a crossdresser, but didn't realize I was my daughter's father until my daughter and her friend were texting each other on our respective bus trips home.

After the play, they were collecting for some cause, and one of the cast members was in the lobby collecting the money. My daughter and I got a selfie with the cast member.

About 5 years ago my GG friend organized a trip with half a dozen crossdressers to see a short opera on Stonewall, the bar where there were a number of riots by the LGBTQ community.

So I have gone several times with no real consequences. I'm pretty sure it will be OK.

@rebeccabaxter en femme 100% entirely appropriate .

Anyone who reads you will probably be even less concerned than any other time due to the context of the evening .

Have a wonderful lady night out x

Thoughts about going to a show dolled up? Why not? Regardless of the show's content. You don't need any reason more than "I want to." I went to a comedy show at the Kennedy Center dolled up. No one blinked.

I vote yes.

I would.

From what I've heard, there are often members of Jamie audiences who attend en femme. Some go in full stage drag. It's a bit like Rocky Horror, where it's expected that a significant number of the audience will turn up in basques, stockings and suspenders. Go for it!

@jacquelinelarkspur 

Thanks a lot for that. Well, that's me decided then, en femme it will be. I was fairly sure I would go en femme but it's nice to know that others have been there before me.

That would be my vote too.

You mustn't back out now, and be sure to let us all know how it goes.

Thanks for all your support and unless something untoward occurs, I shall be going en femme. Biggest concern I have is using the toilet but the theatre has quite a few disabled toilets which are obviously gender neutral and since there are likely to be other CDers there I'm sure I won't be the only one in the queue. It should be interesting because the show we are going to see is a matinee and starts at 2.30pm so I shall be walking the streets (ooh, er) en femme too (not that that is a problem as I have already been out to the city, twice, dressed).

So long as the actors do a good job, I'm really not bothered whether there are any famous faces or not. I know for a fact already that one of the billed names is not appearing during the show time we have booked. I have a mild form of prosopagnosia so one face is as good as the next to me 🙂

I watched the movie.  It was very good and I thought it portrayed a good blend of those who are repulsed and those who support.

Gee Rebecca it should be the perfect forum for us to be dressed. The people going to this kind of performance are probably very tolerant or they wouldn't be there. I have been to several shows with no problem in the past and yea the Rocky Horror show was filled with people like us and really fun.
