The Pansy Craze is a theatrical concert series starring Mason Alexander Park chronicling multiple periods in history where queerness was celebrated, commodified, consumed, and then criminalized.
Part concert and part queer history lesson, The Pansy Craze revives legendary queer icons through songs of the 1920s, the glam rock movement of the 1970s, and contemporary queer anthems.
Mason Alexander Park recently starred as The Emcee in the current West End revival of Cabaret, and can be seen as Dr. Ian Wright in NBC’s Quantum Leap, Desire in Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman, Gren in the Netflix live action adaptation of Cowboy Bebop, and in Amazon’s Critical Role: The Legend of Vox Machina. Co conceived with Hunter Bird, who most recently directed Bronco Billy: The Musical at The Charing Cross Theatre.

“This was one of those nights that doesn’t come along every day, every week, even every month…
There are those people who were born to be loved and those artists who were born to be stars, and Mason Alexander Park is both.“ (Broadway World)
