BWW Review: WERQ THE WORLD: la Terra salvata dalle drag queen di RuPaul's Drag Race
by Margherita Piccoli - Apr 16, 2019


Bologna. Sono le sette di sera di mercoledi 10 aprile e posso finalmente uscire dall'aula studio per prendere l'autobus che mi portera al Teatro Celebrazioni. Appena salita capisco che meta dei passeggeri e diretta verso il mio stesso luogo: chi risponde alle battute dei propri amici con un sashay away, chi discute dell'ultima eliminazione di 'RuPaul Drag Race' e chi come me non vede semplicemente l'ora di scendere e continua a controllare fuori dal finestrino la propria locazione, chiedendosi quanto manchi per raggiungere il teatro.

World Premiere Tour of MEAN GAYS Comes to The Montalbon Theatre in Hollywood
by A.A. Cristi - Feb 5, 2019


After the smash success of her Troop Beverly Heels premiere tour with Trixie Mattel in 2018, drag icon Peaches Christ is starting off 2019 by paying tribute to one of the most fan-requested movies in the history of Peaches Christ Productions. Here comes the world premiere tour of Mean Gays! It's survival of the fiercest when Kimmy Chi (RuPaul's Drag Race Season 8 finalist Kim Chi), a home-schooled transfer student from South Korea, moves to an American high school ruled by drag queen girl-gang The Plastics, led by the terrifying Willam George (RuPaul's Drag Race Season 4 firebrand Willam, currently stealing scenes opposite Lady Gaga in Bradley Cooper's A Star Is Born), and her ignorant band of loyal followers, Peaches Swallows Wieners (Peaches Christ) and stoner dingbat Laganja Smith (RuPaul's Drag Race Season 6 standout Laganja Estranja, also seen in the Netflix series Dancing Queen). Will Kimmy fit in with these mean gays, or will they throw her under the school bus? Mean Gays is a hilariously irreverent live musical parody of the 2004 cult classic film Mean Girls starring Lindsay Lohan, Tina Fey, and Rachel McAdams. Audience members are encouraged to pretend it's Wednesday and deck themselves out in their pinkest attire! Care for some alcohol? If you're going to drink, please do it at the Cool Mom cocktail bar in the lobby. Reserved seating for Mean Gays starts at $35. VIP packages are available which include a post-show meet and greet with the cast, a signed poster, two complimentary cocktails, and other surprises. Tickets are available online at https://www.themontalban.com/shows or via phone by calling (323) 461-6999, or in person at The Montalb n box office at 1615 North Vine Street in Hollywood, Monday through Friday, 1pm 6pm.
