“Drag: The Musical” is officially set to debut Off-Broadway this fall, featuring a cast of RuPaul’s Drag Race alumni. The musical is set to begin its run at New World Stages on September 30, with the grand opening night scheduled for October 21.
Co-written by Drag Race Alaska Thunderfuck, known mononymously as Alaska, has teamed up with collaborators Tomas Costanza and Ashley Gordon to create the musical. The storyline centers around two rival drag bars, each struggling to stay afloat amidst financial issues.

“When I first moved to Los Angeles, I dreamt of being an actor. Then I realized being an actor is hard, so I became a Drag Queen,” Alaska shared. “ Now, after almost 20 years of drag, I’ve written myself into a musical. I think New York audiences are going to love this sweet and simple tale of Drag Queens being cunty to one another. What I’m trying to say is: Dreams really do come true.”
