Princess' Pride 'n' Joy

A live, fully lip synched, fully digital drag fantasy trilogy created by HEIST

In a dystopian world where terrifying storms have forced humanity apart, connecting only via screens, the world looks to superstars Princess Edward and Abel T. Suckizone for hope. The two heed the call and stage a massive performance spectacle only to find their very lives threatened by a Terrifying Cloud of Fear. When it comes to life or death and hope or despair, what do you choose and why?

You've maybe seen Zoom shows, but you haven't experienced a HEIST Zoom show. Princess' Pride 'n' Joy is a joyfully fully lip synched digital drag fantasy trilogy staged on Zoom featuring actors, drag performers, and our favourite party game Lip Sync Roulette where pre-chosen participants lip sync a song they've chosen through cryptic categories. They don't know what the song is until it starts to play - unplanned, unrehearsed magic ensues!

This unique and epic event premiered in April 2021 to thrilled audiences all over the world over three separate events. The play was nominated for numerous Robert Merritt Awards, winning the nod for Outstanding Projection Design.
