Born in New York City, Alexis is forced to follow his family to... rural Germany. Trapped in a culture clash, discovering pop divas online is his salvation: Cline, Whitney, Mariah, Beyonc, Aretha... you name 'em, he got 'em. With 10 original songs, Alexis shares the queer joy in becoming a stan (a super-duper-uber fan). But stanning has limits. Somehow being obsessed with women makes you... g-gAy?! News to me... Can Alexis stan himself, conquer the German bullies and find the diva within? A campy, queer, heartfelt hour of musical comedy. Bo Burnham, but gay!
