SHE-CAGO Trans-Led Broadway Will Come to Bushwick in April
Performances will take place April 11-12 at The Brooklyn Monarch.
Fagtasia's SHE-CAGO is a high-camp immersive queer parody of Chicago, reimagined with a fully trans femme-fatale cast, murderously sharp wit, and absolutely no interest in playing it straight. Set in a glittering world of crime, celebrity, and moral flexibility, SHE-CAGO high kicks the iconic musical on its heels. Expect modern twists, new musical numbers, death dropping choreography, live vocals, and fourth-jail-breaking comedy that lovingly skewers the original (ten times) while celebrating trans artistry spread eagle.
