The Gentlemen's Club invites the audiences to enter Mumbai's pulsating underground club scene and follow the exhilarating lives of the city's drag kings, headlined by the enigmatic Rocky, also known as Shammsher. Rocky’s act is a tribute to the legendary Shammi Kapoor and the golden era of Hindi cinema. Alongside Rocky, a diverse ensemble of women embraces the art of drag, delivering a cabaret-style performance that transports you to a gritty, hidden world where you can be anyone you desire. Featuring a dazzling mix of dance, music, and projection, this show unfolds an exciting and provocative narrative celebrating women and their exploration of masculinity.
