Is Drag Race preparing for a Broadway musical run?

On the latest episode of RuPaul’s Drag Race, the queens are faced with the Maxi Challenge of competing in a Rusical. It’s a time honored tradition on the series, farmed out even to international editions. This season it’s for The Sound of Rusic, inspired extremely loosely by The Sound of Music, and we have to ask: Is Drag Race hurtling toward an actual Broadway production? For the past few seasons, the show has been turning out some really solid stageplays. Madonna: The Unauthorized Rusical from season 12, Moulin Ru! The…

Feel-good queer musical Everybody’s Talking About Jamie returns to London in style – review

We’re already big fans of Everybody’s Talking About Jamie here at GAY TIMES, having reviewed its London premiere and covered subsequent runs. The feel-good queer musical which debuted in Sheffield seven years ago has gone on to become something of a phenomenon. With an extended West End run, followed by various tours, and now a feature film, it feels like nothing can stop the rise and rise of this hit musical – so it’s great to have the show back in London some four years since we were last able…

Michelle Visage stars in staged concert of The Addams Family musical – review

For those who’ve not experienced a musical in concert before, it’s not quite what you would expect from a traditional musical that you might catch on London’s West End. It’s important to get expectations in place – we weren’t anticipating that this would be a hugely lavish production, and we were correct: the staging and choreography is quite limited and simple, the costumes are fine but unremarkable, the sets and props are limited. The Addams Family is also doing a very short run (three shows!) which meant we caught the…

Kylie Minogue has shared her thoughts on potentially collaborating with Madonna.  Since the 1980s, the two legendary entertainers have ruled the music industry and become cherished icons within the LGBTQIA+ community.  From delivering some of the most campy and culture-shifting singles to consistently using their platform to support their legion of queer fans, Minogue and Madonna have rightfully earned their pop royalty titles. However, despite their close proximity to each other within the music sphere, the two iconic talents have yet to collaborate on a track, much to fan disappointment. …
