The Most Beautiful Story About Love

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL STORY ABOUT LOVE

A wonderful drag-cabaret-musical inspired by William Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet

Book & Lyrics: Eternal Damnation

Music: Moritz Lieberherr

Performed by: Angèle Cavin, Eternal Damnation, Max Grosse Majench

You know how it ends. You’ve always known. They meet, they fall in love, they die. Shakespeare made sure of that four hundred years ago, and no amount of wishing has changed it since.

So why are you still reading this?

The Most Beautiful Story About Love is a comedy — a sharp, ridiculous, frequently unhinged cabaret deconstruction of the most famous love story ever written. Performed by a cast of three, scored for live piano, and hosted by a drag queen (Eternal Damnation) who has very strong opinions about love and would prefer not to have them.

Juliet Capulet (Angéle Cavin) is thirteen, romantic, and being sold to a bald man with a gentle soul. Romeo Montague (Max Grosse Majench) is sixteen and perpetually lovesick. Together, they do exactly what every generation since the Globe Theatre has done before them: fall headlong into the most… let’s say, «beautiful» mistake of their lives.

Standing between them and the audience — cigarette in hand, wine half-finished — is the Master of the Ceremony. Think the Emcee from Cabaret crossed with Fleabag: someone who hosts the tragedy with a dazzling grin, makes the whole room laugh, and is clearly not okay. Outrageously funny, impossible to look away from, and carrying about fifteen years’ worth of unprocessed feelings about romance that she will absolutely be sharing with the room tonight. Because if we’re going to watch two teenagers destroy themselves over a love story the whole world already knows by heart, someone needs to be there to ask the uncomfortable question: why do we keep telling it?

Played by Eternal Damnation, Zurich-based drag queen who has performed at Drag Fest Switzerland, Zurich Pride, and The Millers very own «Madame Phishères Boudoir Bizzarre» — she knows exactly how this ends, has been through something like it herself, and is going to tell you about it whether you asked or not.

The result is a show that makes you laugh first and think later — and occasionally both at the same time. It takes Shakespeare’s most iconic tragedy and asks what happens when you strip away the poetry and look at what’s underneath: two lonely people, a city full of inherited hatred, and a love story so embedded in our culture that we’ve stopped questioning whether it’s actually a love story at all.

It’s funny until it isn’t. It’s devastating until it’s funny again. The songs will get stuck in your head; the MC’s monologues might get stuck somewhere else.

The Most Beautiful Story About Love premieres at Millers, Zurich, on 28 May 2026.
