I am beyond excited to kick off this new chapter & see familiar & new faces come to Smiler, to see the many faces of Frankly Famous's evolution & growth. As well as the unbelievable talent playing & supporting each night. This is the first Smiler back, & may it be a very special one, see you there, love you all xxx

Frankly Famous The Musical:
The Alternate Turning

The year is 1965.
After being chemically castrated by force for being gay, Alan Turing survives a British assassination attempt via a cyanide-laced apple. He’s secretly rescued by the FBI and hired by the American government, handed a Cold War budget to develop Artificial Intelligence. And he succeeds.
But what he creates is immediately used against the people, the U.S. begins quietly embedding AI-generated deepfakes into American media to manipulate the public without them ever knowing.

Horrified, Turing builds Frankly Famous in secret: a post-human popstar with all of media’s consciousness downloaded into their system. A spirit. A glitch. A living deepfake.

From a hidden television studio bunker, Turing and Frankly hatch a radical plan, to intercept global TV signals and expose the truth about deepfakes. But saying it isn’t enough. To prove it, they must do what deepfakes aren’t designed to do: stand out.

They’ll flood the airwaves with queerness. Not to blend in, but to blow people's minds.
Where the government once launched a Lavender Scare to erase queer people from media, this will be its chaotic, fabulous reversal, a Lavender Awakening.

As what’s truly at stake is the future of reality itself. AI-driven media, left unchallenged, in a techno fascist world, will erase queerness, minorities, and all outsiders from visibility, and revolutions can’t happen in echo chambers. It starts on stages like Smiler Nights & beyond xxx
