In DRAG: The Musical, two Drag Houses, both alike in indignity, vie for supremacy in a wig-snatching journey of fashion, family, and forgiveness. After a bitter split, two estranged queens bring their already simmering tensions to a boiling point when they open competing clubs. In this queen-eat-queen tale of spite and survival, there’s only one rule: No Lip Synching Allowed. Entertainment Weekly calls it, “drag at its best” and BroadwayWorld raves, “They hit the ball out of the park. Rowdy fun with the glamor of a Broadway musical.”
The “epic cast of drag, theater, and LGBTQ+ icons” (Entertainment Tonight) features Alaska Thunderf*ck (through 1/11/25), Jujubee, Jan Sport, Lagoona Bloo, J. Elaine Marcos and features New Kids on the Block’s, Joey McIntyre (through 11/24/24).

FEATURED REVIEWS FOR Drag: The Musical
Review: Joey McIntyre, Alaska, and Nick Adams star in the Off-Broadway show ‘Drag: The Musical’
8 / 10
Joey McIntyre is superb as Tom, while Alaska and Nick Adams are a triumph as Kitty and Alexis respectively. In fact, everybody in the cast is diverse, and offers something unique to the table; moreover, the band is gifted in their own right. The musical is feel-good escapism for its entire 110 minute duration. It tugs at the heartstrings and it has some poignant themes (family, acceptance, and forgiveness) and lessons that are food for thought for all.
Queens face off in ‘DRAG: The Musical’ Off-Broadway at New World Stages
8 / 10
What ensues is a high-camp laugh-out-loud tale of bitterness and spite, chosen family and forgiveness, filled with powerhouse performances, pop culture references, witty nods to Shakespeare, and important messages about self-expression triumphing over oppression and community overcoming disharmony.
