MR BIG aka Tatay, A Transwoman and That Tiring Tune!
A ghost that will not stop singing.
A bride with a funeral to plan. A 90s love song that refuses to die.
From award-winning playwright Dax Carnay-Hanrahan, MR BIG aka Tatay, A Transwoman and That Tiring Tune! is a darkly comedic and musically haunted new theatre work.
Set between 1990s Manila and contemporary Melbourne, MR BIG follows Diana, a trans Filipina woman juggling her upcoming wedding and the funeral of her estranged father.
Her plans fall apart when her late father reappears as a singing ghost who will not stop belting Mr. Big's 1991 hit 'To Be With You.'
Fusing music, comedy, and haunting absurdity, the play dives into gender, grief, and immigrant duty, navigating the chaos of a fractured family legacy.
This heartfelt and hilarious Filipino-Australian story forces an unavoidable, ridiculous confrontation with the ghosts of the past.
