WHO IS GIGI ZAHIR?

“A stupendously talented performer” - Musical Theatre Review

“They are what one can simply describe as The Moment” - Broadway World

Gigi Zahir (formerly known as Crayola) is a non-binary, mixed-race musical theatre-maker and performer. After years pretending to be a good little drag queen, they’ve boldly set down their crown, re-entering the cabaret world as a slippery AF, all-singing, all-genderf*cking drag shapeshifter. 

They’ve performed everywhere from basement bars to the West End, opened for Chappell Roan, and are currently developing UnHinged, a new musical comedy about queer dating in the digital age. Gigi has been a guest lecturer at The London College of Music since 2024.

Recent theatre credits include: Wicked Witches (The Pleasance), Acid’s Reign (Relish Theatre), Frankie Goes To Bollywood (Rifco, UK Tour/Southbank Centre) and Cinderella (Stratford East), which saw them nominated for Best Newcomer at the 2023 UK Pantomime Awards.
