Alaska Thunderf*ck Does It All in ‘DRAG: The Musical’

Joan Summers, writing for Paper Magazine:

“Alaska Thunderfuck can act, she can sing, she can do drag. In fact, she can do “a whole bunch of shit,” even bring an entire musical she wrote with her collaborators from Los Angeles to New York.

The multi-hyphenate drag powerhouse is deep in previews for her brand new starring role in DRAG: The Musical, at New World Stages. With book, music and lyrics written by herself and collaborators Tomas Costanza and Ashley Gordan, the musical romp tells the story of two rival drag houses, torn apart by their respective matriarchs, once lovers, now mortal enemies.

Besides Alaska herself as The Cathouse’s head glamourpuss, Kitty Galloway, DRAG: The Musical also stars some familiar drag faces: Drag Race legends Jujubee, Jan Sport and Luxx Noir London, and Stephanie’s Child vocal powerhouse Lagoona Bloo. Opposite Alaska is Nick Adams as Alexis Gilmore, The Fish Tank’s matriarch, who recently starred in Fire Island and originated the role of Adam/Felicia in the musical Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.”
