After a triumphant opening week, audiences are raving about The Legend of Georgia McBride! If you're still on the fence about whether you should go or not, here are just a few more reasons why this is a must-see:
Behind the glitter of a play about an Elvis-impersonator-turned-drag queen to save his job, is a warm-hearted comedy about the power of family. It's important to remember why we love the people around us. “The Legend of Georgia McBride” is one of those plays that makes you do just that. Family, whether it's the family you choose or otherwise, is the thing that makes life worth living and our community worth living in. This play won’t let you forget that.
The show is fun! Get up and dance. Want to leave a show tapping your toes and ready to paint the town red? “The Legend of Georgia McBride” ends with a dance party and puts you in a good mood. Bring your friends, then go out and celebrate with each other.
The costumes are characters of their own. Bryce Turgeon, of "RuPaul's Drag Race" fame, costume-designed and his creations are another star in an already bright show. There are a total of 68 costume changes within the 100 minute show!
If you have never been to a drag show before, this is the play for you. Not only do some of the best actors in the country inhabit these drag queen characters, the play itself explains the importance of drag in our community. Think of it as an “Introduction to Drag Shows.”
