If you haven’t been to a drag show before, what are you waiting for? Nothing beats the high-energy atmosphere and variety of talent that comes with the art form. And with this being Pride Month, there’s no better time to snag tickets to one of the hottest shows in town: RuPaul’s Drag Race Live!
You can feel the buzz of excitement the moment you step foot in the showroom as attendees mill about, chatting about which queens from the production’s namesake TV show they hope to see. Clips from fan-favorite episodes and RuPaul hit music videos play on screens on either side of the main stage, reassuring you that what you’re about to see is going to be a superfan experience like no other. Then when the lights finally drop and the spectacle begins, the whole room comes alive.
The cast changes from time to time, so you never know which Ru Girls you’ll see, but you’re guaranteed an absolutely phenomenal show nonetheless. You’re likely to see Scottish drag icon Lawrence Chaney, pictured, take the stage with her quick wit and charming accent. Winner of the second season of RuPaul’s Drag Race UK, Chaney pops between hilariously hosting and taking her turn to compete in the ultimate lip-sync smackdown for the crown. But trust me on this, no matter what this queen is doing, you won’t be able to take your eyes off her, and she may very well end up being your favorite in the show.
Chaney is not the only international queen to take part in this over-the-top display; season 12 contestant and host of Drag Race France, Nicky Doll, and Drag Race Thailand judge and winner of the first season of RuPaul’s Drag Race: UK vs. the World Pangina Heals, have both brought their talent to this stage.
Not to mention you can count on some legendary queens like season seven’s “Dancing Diva of Texas” Kennedy Davenport, who has been a mainstay, serving undeniable ability and pageant elegance. Other legends in the cast have included season four’s Latrice Royale, season 11 winner Yvie Oddly and so many more incredible performers.
