DRAG: The Musical Review
OCTOBER 28, 2024 - NEW YORKER
Drag, at its best, is a union of glamour and camp, spectacle and heart. DRAG: The Musical —a tale of two night clubs, written by Tomas Costanza, Justin Andrew Honard, and Ashley Gordon, and directed with pizzazz by Spencer Liff—delivers the goods, with some rock and roll to boot. One club is owned by Kitty Galloway (the “RuPaul’s Drag Race” sensation Alaska Thunderfuck); the other, across the street, belongs to her ex, Alexis Gillmore (a distractingly muscular Nick Adams).

Your ears are not deceiving you: That is indeed the voice of Liza Minnelli, the patron saint of pizzazz, narrating the pop art–inspired opening of the bubbly, bedazzled DRAG: The Musical.

If you’re still looking to scratch an itch for feuding households and high drama, Alaska Thunderfuck’s got you covered. The winner of Drag Race All Stars season two (“probably one of the very best seasons,” a Drag Race aficionado friend told me confidently) has just sashayed into a sequin-splattered Off Broadway extravaganza of her own creation, DRAG: The Musical, co-written with Tomas Costanza and Ashley Gordon. Featuring Alaska herself as proprietress of the Cat House drag club Kitty Galloway, along with a plethora of fellow queens including Jujubee, Jan Sport, and Luxx Noir London, Drag does exactly what it says on the tin, then throws in a jubilant encore (because whoever said “Always leave them wanting more” never met a drag queen). It’s got looks, reads, death drops, wigs-wigs-wigs, and — underneath all the shade and side-eye of its bitter battle between “two drag houses, both alike in their lack of dignity” — it’s also got a big, squishy heart
