Glitter, Glam, and Guts in CLUE: A DRAG EXTRAVAGANZA!
By: BWW News Desk Feb. 17, 2017
A group of mismatched shade-monsters attend a cocktail party hosted by the wealthy widow of the late Dr. Body. Instead of drinks, they're served deception, drama, and death drops. This much-loved tale, with references to the cult movie, is told with lip-syncing, raucous dance routines, and completely stolen dialogue. Follow these Kings and Queens through a drag show mansion of murder.
Briget Diehl, Producer, states, "Getting into drag is always political, so what better time to do this show than now? We wanted to do something that is campy, fun, and inherently makes all the social-political statements that a drag performance does."
"Clue: A Drag Extravaganza!" features such Kings and Queens of the Chicago Drag scene as Abhijeet (Instagram: bon_abhijeet); Aunty Chan (recently from Aunty Chan's Office Holiday Party at the Annoyance Theatre); Travis Fiero; and Bambi Banks, Crash Landing Cycle 10 Winner (a 3 round competition for drag queens, bio queens, kings, & straight up aliens held each month at Berlin Nightclub)(Instagram: bambi_banx). Numerous New Faces will also be murdering down the house! Will you survive?
