The 'interactive musical game show comedy' has contestants male and female, from all walks of life pitted against each other in a fabulous battle for drag superstardom. Since 2005, The Ultimate Drag Off has been entertaining audiences in two previous successful off-off Broadway runs in NYC. Now it makes its official Off-Broadway debut! Hosted by NYC Sensation Sweetie (Wig Out, Charmed Life, Project Runway, Starbooty), The colorful 'cast' of contestants is an ever-changing weekly roster with some of your favorite and undiscovered talent from across the country in a wacky glamour-fest with brainy categories, comedic camp and live musical performances.



Audiences can expect special surprise guest co-hosts from Stage, Film/TV and NYC nightlife. In the form of 70's game shows such as 'Let's Make a Deal' and 'The Gong Show' mixed with 'America's Got Talent', this laugh out loud romp is a NYC treasure where the audience decides the outcome of the evening and gets to bestow the winner with the coveted 'Drag Off' crown!
