"Drag is rooted in political activism. The act of drag in itself is political resistance. It began as a stance against a patriarchal society. In 1961, Jose Sarri ran for office in San Francisco. Then, a couple years later, the Stonewall uprising happened. It is important to remember that the queer liberation movement was led by a Black drag queen, and a Hispanic transgender woman. I have a deep appreciation for activism in the drag community." - Marti Gould Allen-Cummings.

"We are so excited to be supporting Marti's historic campaign for NYC council and that we can continue to use this album to lift up the voices of the LGBTQ community. We need LGBTQ voices in office fighting for our rights." - Joshua Hinck and Scott Wasserman, creators of Losing My Mind: A Sondheim Disco Fever Dream.

Broadway Records will host the Q&A on their Youtube channel and Facebook page at 7:00PM (EDT) on Wednesday, Sept. 9th. Follow their social channels to be notified about the event.
