Campy Take on Dante's Inferno Begins Tonight Off-Broadway
By: BWW News Desk
Truly unique performance artist BenDeLaCreme, who became an international favorite on RuPaul's Drag Race, returns to New York with the debut of her latest theatrical blend of burlesque, comedy, performance art and music. BENDELACREME'S INFERNO A-GO-GO, an evening of entertainment about an eternity of suffering, will begin performances tonight, July 28 at The Laurie Beechman Theatre.
In BENDELACREME'S INFERNO A-GO-GO, celebrated story-muddler BenDeLaCreme seeks to answer that age-old question: What the Hell? Turning her gaze toward "Dante's Inferno" -- the original travel brochure of the damned -- this rollicking romp through nine circles of fire and fun is equal parts brimstone and rhinestones. Get your tickets now, or suffer forever more! BenDeLaCreme has appeared in theaters and nightclubs from coast to coast ever since 2002, when s/he realized that normally unsavory behavior could be dressed up in fancy clothes and called "Performance Art." Formerly based in Chicago, but with lucite heels now planted firmly in Seattle, BenDeLaCreme combines his/her background in the performing and visual arts with a love of spectacle, glamour, and Saturday morning cartoons to create unforgettable, sparkly entertainment. BenDeLaCreme is best known from season six of RuPaul's Drag Race where she won "Miss Congeniality" and has since been voted one of the show's "15 Fan Favorite Queens Of All Time." In 2014, the premiere of Terminally Delightful wowed audiences nationally, including an encore engagement in New York. Her 2015 follow-up, Cosmos, blended Carl Sagan with cocktail culture and cemented her reputation as one of drag's most creative theatrical talents.
