New World Stages Stage III
340 West 50th Street New York, NY 10019
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
DRAG: The Musical proves that drag can’t be stopped
8 / 10
While DRAG: The Musical is a campy, fun time, it also has educational value. Several of the songs teach important lessons, both for long-term fans of drag and for those new to it: drag is expensive, wigs are a key part of drag (the song “Wigs” features an extremely impressive slew of rapid wig changes), drag can be for anyone and can be a way to harness a gender expression you want to play with, explore, embrace, or embody (even if only temporarily onstage), and yet, sometimes we love drag just because, as Alexis and Brendan agree on, “it’s so pretty.”
Drag: The Musical at New World Stages – A Spectacle of Heart, Glamour, and Glitter
8 / 10
Spencer Liff’s direction seamlessly blends the glamorous world of drag with genuine emotional storytelling. While the show is undoubtedly campy and fun, with big numbers and plenty of glitter, Liff ensures that the heart of the story remains intact. The conflict between the two main characters, is both comedic and heartfelt, with Liff skillfully navigating the tension between their past romance and present rivalry.
