‘A Star is Aborted’ follows a drag queen fetus, the first baby conceived inside a gay man. Will she choose life, or remain in butthole limbo forever? Combining grotesque glamour, powerhouse vocals, and biting satire, A Star Is Aborted explores themes of sexual freedom, fame, and queerness through a hilarious, boundary-pushing lens. John Waters would approve.
