Pretty Ugly

Description

Theo feels pretty… sometimes.
Theo feels ugly… a lot.

In Pretty Ugly, Theo has had enough. He decides to put a stop to the problems of self-worth, self-confidence, and self-doubt which have been plaguing him for too long. Through song, story, and multimedia; he traces the origins of these pesky inner-demons and attempts to plot his way forward.

Theo Chen has been professionally performing since he was 10 years old, and engaging in amateur dramatics (i.e, putting on shows for his friends and family) since he came out the womb. Originally from Singapore, his performances in Cambridge have been described as “excellent”, “audaciously funny” and “perfectly insufferable”.

This year the Cambridge University Musical Theatre Society is transforming the Larkum Studio into the CUMTS Cabaret - a chance to explore the enchanting possibilities when music & theatre intertwine. The first three shows feature powerful storytelling in a uniquely intimate setting: an experience like no other in Cambridge theatre!

Performances:

• 20:00 on 2024-11-14 at ADC Theatre (Larkum Studio)
• 20:00 on 2024-11-15 at ADC Theatre (Larkum Studio)
