Le Gateau Chocolat’s Musicals Mayhem offers a vibrant escape into the world of musical theatre, blending humor, heart, and a touch of extravagance. Over the course of an hour, the bearded diva performs a medley of beloved show tunes, adorned with sequinned gowns and buoyed by a rich vocal range. While some songs are delivered earnestly, others receive playful reinterpretations, such as a dance-infused twist on Follies’ “Losing My Mind” or The Little Mermaid’s “Part of Your World” set amid a stage of bubbles.

The performance showcases Chocolat’s versatility, reimagining Abba’s “The Winner Takes It All” as a torch song and transforming The Snowman’s “Walking in the Air” with a resonant bass vocal. Technical missteps, like imbalanced backing tracks and dim lighting, occasionally detract but fail to overshadow the show’s energy. Medleys, including a feline-themed mix of songs from The Lion King, Cats, and “Eye of the Tiger,” flow seamlessly despite frequent costume changes.

The grand finale—a spirited Grease singalong—captures the communal joy of musical theatre. With its exuberant energy, Musicals Mayhem reminds us of the transformative power of a great show tune, inviting us to embrace life’s challenges with a song in our hearts and a smile on our faces.
