In additional DRAG: The Musical news, GLAAD Media Awards has bestowed a Special Recognition Honor for the hit Off-Broadway production, which earned raves from critics and audiences alike. "Drag: The Musical delivers the goods! Glamour, camp, spectacle, heart, and a riot of rhinestones," raves The New Yorker. Alaska Thunderf*ck, praised as "magnificent" by Stage and Cinema and described by The New York Times as "the bigwig drag queen" with a "signature bass purr," shines as the claws-out Kitty Galloway. Critics have celebrated her performance, with Times Square Chronicles hailing it as "unforgettable" and Vulture proclaiming, "Alaska Thunderf*ck's got you covered." This Off-Broadway hit dazzles audiences with its irresistible blend of glamour, heart, and spectacle. Vulture calls it "a fun, sequin-splattered extravaganza" filled with "looks, reads, death drops, and wigs-wigs-wigs," while Time Out New York awards four stars to this "bubbly, bedazzled, sequin-studded song-and-dance story." DC Theater Arts celebrates its "high-camp laugh-out-loud tale with powerhouse performances," and New York Theatre Guide describes it as "a riotously fun show you'll want to keep coming back to." With dazzling costumes by Marco Marco, stunning choreography by Spencer Liff, and showstopping songs by Alaska Thunderf*ck, Tomas Costanza, and Ashley Gordon, the production is a joyful, heartwarming tribute to drag culture that audiences won't want to miss.

Elaine Marcos as Gloria Schmidt/Rita LaRitz, Jan Sport as Savannah St. James, Jujubee as The Tigress, Lagoona Bloo as Tuna Turner, Luxx Noir London as Popcorn, Nick Laughlin as Puss Puss DuBois, Remi Tuckman and Yair Keydar alternate the role of ten-year-old Brendan Hutchinson, and Adam Pascal as the straight man Tom Hutchinson. The ensemble includes Cameron Mitchell Bell, Peli Naomi Woods, Kodiak Thompson, Nicholas Kraft, and Teddy Wilson Jr. In DRAG: The Musical, two Drag Houses, both alike in indignity, vie for supremacy in a wig-snatching journey of fashion, family, and forgiveness. After a bitter split, two estranged queens bring their already simmering tensions to a boiling point when they open competing clubs. In this queen-eat-queen tale of spite and survival, there's only one rule: no lip-synching allowed.
