Guy the Musical

There’s two brilliant new plays on this week at the Kings Head Theatre and first up is Guy the Musical, which features X Factor star Seann Miley Moore.

Hannah Lisshus 1937 – 2018 

Last week everyone at Boyz and many people across the cabaret scene were saddened to hear that Hannah Lisshus had died. Hannah was a regular at many venues over the years, but especially at Halfway II Heaven where she would often perform with Bette Rinse, and was always there for Drag Idol and It’s a Knockout. Originally from Scotland, she was a genuine one-off and remained an entertainer till the end. The scene is a duller place without her. We send our very best to her family and friends. RIP Hannah.
