River Medway - Series 4 Episode 3

Welcome to Represent, the queer musical theatre podcast.

My name is Dr. James Lovelock and I'm an academic and a huge musical theatre fan, exploring the representation of all things queer in the musical theatre industry.

My guest today is the iconic River Medway, star of RuPaul's Drag Race season three in the UK, and more recently a leading lady as Ariel in the outrageous musical parody Unfortunate, the untold story of Ursula the Sea Witch. We discuss River's unique pathway to representing their authentic self in musical theatre and talk about their upcoming role as Jem in Here and Now, the Steps musical.
