RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE Star Alexis Michelle to Return to Feinstein's/54 Below

Feinstein's/54 Below, Broadway's Supper Club, welcomes back Alexis Michelle, one of the last queens standing on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 9, in her new one woman show ALEXIS, I AM!

"Breathe in... I. Breathe out... Am." This simple meditation has seen Alexis Michelle through the most exciting and challenging year of her career. From the exhilaration of being thrust into the reality tv spotlight to the struggles of the social media age, Alexis has lived it all and is stronger for it. Through a repertoire of songs made famous by divas like Liza, Madonna, Dolly, and Gaga and some of her own signature tunes, "Thank You for Being a Friend" and "Ladies Who Lunch," Alexis shares the experiences that have challenged her and have made her brave enough to say "ALEXIS, I AM!"

Alexis, I Am! features music direction by Brandon James Gwinn. The evening is produced and directed by James Will McBride.

Alexis Michelle in "ALEXIS, I AM!" plays Feinstein's/54 Below (254 West 54th Street) January 24, February 21, March 21, April 18 at 9:30 PM. There is a $30-$40 cover charge and $25 food and beverage minimum. Tickets and information are available at www.54Below.com. Tickets on the day of performance after 4:00 are only available by calling (646) 476-3551.
