  Date: 17th November 2024 Seat: K6 Tickets: Gifted Stars: 4 Frank’s Closet is the kind of show that embraces its campy, feel-good vibe and runs with it, feather boas and all – it’s fun, it’s flamboyant, and it’s got heart in spades. A show about love, identity, and letting go of the past (or, in this case, a closet full of iconic diva dresses), it mixes plenty of laughs with some genuinely touching moments. And yes, the costumes are as fabulous as you’d hope.  Frank, played brilliantly by Andy Moss, is the beating heart of this show. He’s getting ready to marry his fiancĂ©, Alan, and part of that process involves giving up his beloved collection of diva dresses – dresses that represent more than just fashion. They’re tied to his identity, his memories, and his past, and watching him try to let go is both hilarious and heartfelt.  Andy Moss has a wonderful stage presence. He knows how to play up Frank’s over-the-top persona without making it feel forced; you’ll laugh ...
