DRAG: THE MUSICAL
Written by Alaska Thunderf*ck, Tomas Costanza and Ashley Gordon
Directed and choreographed by Spencer Liff
Alaska’s DRAG: The Musical is an instant cult classic with an original story that speaks to all generations. Entertainment Weekly calls it, “drag at its best” and BroadwayWorld raves, “They hit the ball out of the park. Rowdy fun with the glamor of a Broadway musical.”
DRAG: The Musical is playing at New World Stages (340 West 50th Street).
Two Drag Houses, both alike in indignity, vie for supremacy in a wig-snatching, diva-licious journey of fashion, family, and forgiveness. Leave the lip syncs at the door, darling. Get ready for Drag realness: REAL singing, in a REAL theater, with REAL DRAMA. After their bitter split, fishy queen Alexis Gilmore opened her club, The Fishtank, as glamourpuss Miss Kitty established The Cathouse. Heels click and tensions rise as old wounds are opened and the two clubs fight to survive.
