ULTIMATE DRAG OFF Returns Off-Broadway

By:

ULTIMATE DRAG OFF marks its 10th anniversary in a new upper west side venue, the TRIAD Theatre. After a 4 year hiatus, DRAG OFF brings back the zaniest interactive game-show where audience members vote after a series of rounds and crowns a drag superstar. BroadwayWorld brings you a first look at the show below!

Hosted by legendary NYC Nightlife temptress, Sweetie, every week is designed to bring audiences a cornucopia of challenges, games and special guests from stage, film and television. The ULITMATE DRAG OFF has seen a great share of drag entertainers from all walks of life over the past 10 years including 'Rupaul's Drag Race' favorites, Jiggly Caliente, Mimi Imfurst and Bianca Del Rio.

In the style of 70's game shows, this laugh out loud romp is a NYC treasure. With a fresh new show every week, audiences are treated to a great time and a hilarious unpredictable show. Created by Director Alex Perez, the idea to bring DRAG OFF back was something he was anxiously awaiting the right time for. "When we started the show back in 2005, it was young, raw and grew over the years, with a wonderful amount of support of our fans and friends. This was way before drag was accepted as a TV show idea, or in the mainstream. It's interesting to bring it back in a day and age with social media, mainstream accessibility and of course, in a beautiful theatre house where audiences can have some drinks and experience a vaudevillian style performance. It's part retro, part camp and kitsch, and great fun for everyone."

ULTIMATE DRAG OFF has had special guest co-hosts and audience guests including Michael Musto, Mary Testa, Christine Pedi, Laura Bell Bundy, S. Epatha Merkeson and more. It's an opportunity for audiences, parties and people from all walks of life to become superstars and spend a fun night out. Reviews have included: "Zanily Entertaining!"- Village Voice, "Don't Miss It!" - TimeOut NY, "Awesome, Deranged and Ridiculously Entertaining"- Washington Square News, "Wild Campy Fun. A Great Night Out!" - WPLJ FM Radio.

ULTIMATE DRAG OFF opens Sep 18th, and plays FRIDAY NIGHTS at 11pm.
