As my partner and I walked the well trodden path towards the Pleasure Garden in Russell Square Northbridge, it was bustling with activity as people took in the sights and sounds of Fringe World 2025.

We were looking forward to watching Dean Misdale perform in their latest Fringe show “Drag Me to Broadway” at the De Parel Spiegeltent.

A few years ago we watched Dean perform in “Life’s a Drag” at Fringe World, and before then at the Perth International Cabaret Festival, so we knew we were in for a treat of catchy tunes, funny stories and passionate singing.

Dean’s on-stage combination of glamorous outfits and their commanding voice captured the audience's attention from the get go.

Their stories shared on stage about growing up as a teenager and their career journey are humorous and heartfelt – touching on the pivotal Broadway shows, films and people that have been instrumental in helping Dean to become the accomplished performer that they are today.

Dean's passion for Broadway musicals was apparent as they shared the profound impact that musicals and films have had on their rise to stardom – of note their performances as Killer Queen in We Will Rock You: The Musical and in Priscilla Queen of the Dessert: The Musical at Crown Theatre.

All up - it's a show full of heart, sparkles, sequinned outfits and more from one of Perth's stars.

It is also a bit of a special show as it also marks the milestone of Dean’s 10 year anniversary performing at Fringe World.

Fringe in Perth has kicked off with a bang and if you want a good time enjoying a fun and sassy show, then head down to watch Drag Me to Broadway by Dean Misdale.

It's on at The Pleasure Garden in Russell Square, Northbridge tonight (19 January) then nightly from 22 January to 26 January.
