Video: Jinkx Monsoon Sings Broadway

It's monsoon season on Broadway! As BroadwayWorld reported last week, Jinkx Monsoon will soon make a return to the New York City stage, taking on the role of Audrey in Little Shop of Horrors. This news comes following an equally exciting announcment earlier this year that Monsoon will also return to the role of Matron 'Mama' Morton in Chicago this summer, playing 20 performances only.

Jinkx made her Broadway debut in the role of “Matron ‘Mama' Morton” on Monday, January 16, 2023, making history by becoming the first drag queen to play the role on Broadway. Jinkx broke box office records and played to standing room only crowds at the Ambassador Theatre during her first run in the show as “Mama” in 2023.

To celebrate the news (x2) we've rounded up just a few of our favorite Broadway-adjacent Jinkx performances!
