The brand new show Drag! The Musical is heading to New York this fall!
Alaska Thunderf*ck, who came in second place on RuPaul’s Drag Race season five and won the second season of All Stars, co-wrote the new show and she’s also starring in the musical for a limited run.
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.

The cast will feature fellow Drag Race alum Jujubee and Jan Sport, plus drag favorite Lagoona Bloo, Broadway veteran J. Elaine Marcos, and New Kids on the Block star Joey McIntyre.
The musical will begin performances at Off-Broadway house New World Stages on September 30 ahead of an opening night show on October 21. Joey is playing a limited run through November 24 and Alaska is in the show through January 11.
In a statement, Alaska Thunderf*ck said, “When I first moved to Los Angeles, I dreamt of being an actor. Then I realized being an actor is hard, so I became a Drag Queen. Now, after almost 20 years of drag, I’ve written myself into a musical. I think New York audiences are going to love this sweet and simple tale of Drag Queens being cunty to one another. What I’m trying to say is: dreams really do come true.”
Alaska co-wrote the show with Tomas Costanza and Ashley Gordon. The musical will be directed and choreographed by Spencer Liff, who helmed the acclaimed Los Angeles run.
