Ginger Minj and Jujubee Will Bring WICKED Parody LICKED: FOR GAY to Provincetown and Atlanta
The sapphic parody is written by Ginger Minj and Tyler Scott, with direction by Paul Conroy
From the team that brought you Hokus Pokus Live!, Licked: For Gay is a lesbian drag parody of Wicked that turns the Emerald City into a sapphic fever dream set inside the OzDust Barroom, where facts are never black and white but the drama is pure technicolor.
Written by Ginger Minj (winner of RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10) and Tyler Scott, with direction by Paul Conroy, the show stars Ginger as a sexually confused, brand-obsessed Glinda, three shots deep on “Green Elixir” and finally ready to spill the tea.
Opposite her is Jujubee, three-time finalist and fan favorite on RuPaul's Drag Race, serving butch broom-rider realness as an Elphaba who'd rather fight fascism than fake a fairytale, with Atlanta's favorite, Tugboat, rounding out the cast as the swishy and dishy bartender with a secret past.
Licked: For Gay unfolds inside the Ozdust Barroom as Glinda confesses everything: the dorm-room tension (“And they were broommates…”), the chaotic love triangle with no straight edges, the rhinestoned corruption of a RuPaul lead Oz, the ice bucket challenge heard 'round the world, and the love she didn't have the courage to choose.
Powered by the music of Ariana Grande, reimagined in full Broadway battle-cry style by Mark Byers, the show mashes pop anthems into broom-flying duets, breakup ballads, and a confetti-drenched coming-out finale.
Atlanta performances take place at Out Front Theatre, June 11-28. Provincetown performances take place at Red Room, July 9-26.
