Camp and ridiculous, joyous and incisive, powerfully feminist and surprisingly touching, it’s a true master-class in physical comedy and storytelling.
A hilarious nostalgia-blaring homage to the humble leotard and its epic transformational possibilities.
Vintage leotards, glittering with sequins, Lycra in every colour of the rainbow. One by one, the performers pull on the Lycra and are transformed. Who were the women who wore these leotards? What were their secrets? And how many interpretive dance routines will there be?
Two of Australia’s most fearless physical comedians, Bridget Boyle and Neridah Waters, present this joyous celebration of performance, body-positivity and glitter.
... funny and surprisingly poignant ... Neridah Waters and Bridget Boyle made an unmatchable duo.
... two of Australia’s finest physical comedians that had the audience in stitches from beginning to end. If you missed this debut season, make sure to bedazzle all your bits in anticipation of its return.

When you pulled on a piece of clothing – be it a leotard, a home-made Halloween costume, or your first formal frock/ suit and you felt it change you somehow? Made you perform yourself differently?
