A Transgender Woman on the Internet Crying: Cassie Hamilton on Her Hyperpop Hit
Welcome back to Let's Be Perfectly Queer Podcast, your go to LGBT Australian podcast for all things queer.
In this episode of Let’s Be Perfectly Queer, we sit down with playwright, composer and performer Cassie Hamilton, creator of the bold new hyperpop musical A Transgender Woman on the Internet Crying.
We dive into what it means to create trans stories for the stage; loudly, proudly and without compromise. Cassie shares how her own transition shaped her journey in musical theatre, why traditional theatre spaces often exclude trans performers, and how she decided to build the kind of work that showcases transgender people and performers.
We talk about:
- Creating a fully trans cast musical
- Why hyperpop and trans culture are deeply connected
- The realities of transitioning as a singer and performer
- T4T relationships and trans love stories
- Letting go of perfection and embracing trans joy
This is a joyful, honest and funny conversation about art, identity, and making space for trans voices on stage.
Whether you love musical theatre, queer art, or want to hear from trans creators changing the industry, this episode is for you.
🎧 Listen in and find out more about this hyperpop hit musical... and until next time, stay perfectly queer!
