11/13/24: Drag: The Musical
What: A new musical about two competing Drag clubs across the street from each other: their rivalry, the bitter history behind their founders, and the encroaching threats to their little paradises by gentrificiation and the IRS. Oh, and countless fantastic costumes, wigs, tea, reads, shade, and celebrations of the world of Drag.
And? I'm not immersed enough with the Drag world to fully engage with it on that level. As a piece of theater, it's fine. (my friends I went with are more in that world, and they had a damn blast at the show, for what it's worth) The stuff with the nephew Brendan is really effective (kinda mad I went to a Drag show and then had to have feelings about the fate of queer kids in America, but here we are), and my god the costume and wig work (especially everything worn by Popcorn/Luxx Noir London). And it was fun to see the very talented Nick Adams again.
