About Trompe l'Oeil
A hilarious circus and musical romp - combining queer theatre, cabaret, circus and illusion.
Trompe l'Oeil is an American drag queen's journey through a surreal Wizard of Oz / 2016 American landscape - with drag kings and queens, jaw-dropping sex fiends and flying bats and trampolines!
Not to be overlooked is the show’s lyrical virtuosity, where hidden messages are impossibly written within. Now in its 6th year, with Off Broadway and London shows to its credit - Trompe l'Oeil is more cultish, prescient - and necessary - than ever!

Jaw-dropping acrobatic choreography... deserves to be booked out every night.
Plays To See
A soundtrack that I wish I could have bought the moment the play ended
Everything Theatre
Nothing heals like laughter, which this production contains in spades, seamlessly blending satire, circus, queer cabaret with surrealist art… [and] a deliciously camp Trump

Certainly a work of art… a beautifully bizarre piece of theatre.
London Theatre Reviews
An evening of entertainment that does have to be seen to be believed.
