All seems set for the perfect drag musical – right? Not. It just didn’t happen. The problem really wasn’t the plot. It was simple. You have a rivalry between the two houses of drag that makes for good competition than reconciliation – predictable but workable. The problem was with all the drag elements. Where were all the over the top outfits and wigs? I have seen more outrageous things in bars than on this stage. Where was the lip-syncing competitions that become the fodder of all drag shows. Where was the over-the-top quips and snaps (there were some – but I set my bar high that the very best would be in this show)? I saw little interest in fooling the eye to look like women and little insight as to the backstage magic as to how a drag queen goes about the transformation. None of the songs were memorable or clever; you certainly didn’t leave the theatre humming them. I will give the show credit that for the last half of the production it began to grow a heart and you began to care about the characters and their fate and began to wish them well on their endeavor to reunite their drag bars. I guess when it came down to it, I wanted this musical to take the best of Le Cage Aux Folles and RuPaul’s Drag Race – combine them both together and put them live on stage with Broadway caliber performers. I got some of this but by no means enough.
