LOUD Cabaret: Laughter, Tears, & the Power of Us
The Met in Bury crackled with excitement for the first-ever Loud Cabaret. You know that feeling, like the electricity in the air before a favorite band takes the stage? That's how it was.
Our host, Nathaniel J. Hall, swept us up with charm and energy, setting the stage for a night that felt like a warm hug and a shot of adrenaline, all at once.
Hunter Millington owned the room from the first note, a wicked grin on their faces. One minute they'd be belting out a song, and the next they'd have us in stitches wrestling with that onstage cow prop—pure brilliance. Hunter wasn't just a performer; they were a storyteller, weaving humour and heart with every move.
AJ LeRoy followed, and the room hushed. That voice... it felt like silk, carrying stories that wrapped around our hearts. AJ's set was a journey, an intimate glimpse into one person's world that somehow spoke to us all.
Then Minute Taker took over, a master of sound and light. The whole place felt transformed, culminating in a version of "Running Up That Hill" that gave me chills. Minute Taker wasn't just singing; they were painting with music, leaving us breathless.
The love from the local LGBTQ+ groups was the glue that night, a reminder of the power of shared space and celebration.This was about more than talent; it was about the magic that happens when a community comes together.
As folks spilled out, smiles plastered on their faces, you could feel it—this was the start of something special. Loud Cabaret wasn't just a show; it was an experience, a testament to the brilliant, beautiful mess of the queer community.
Keep an eye on the Met's website for tickets to the next one. If you want a night that'll make you laugh, maybe even cry a little, and walk away feeling a whole lot more alive, this is where you want to be.
LOUD Cabaret is just getting louder, and you wouldn't miss it.
