From "Drag Race" To Off-Broadway: Alaska Thunderfuck Is Bringing The Fierceness To The Stage With "Drag: The Musical"
"It speaks to the timeless idea of being a young person and figuring out who you are," said <i>RuPaul's Drag</i> <i>Race</i> veteran Alaska, the show's co-writer and star.
RuPaul’s Drag Race veteran Alaska Thunderfuck, one of the musical’s stars and also a co-writer, worked with director-choreographer Spencer Liff to create a show that would offer a “sneak attack” on audiences’ emotions. Alaska, whose real name is Justin Andrew Honard, drew heavily on personal experience while working on the script and songs for Drag: The Musical with co-writers Tomas Costanza and Ash Gordon. In preparing the show for its New York debut, the trio has written a new song, “ Straight Man,” for McIntyre that Costanza has joked is an “anthem for every dude who cracks open a cold one, swings a club, and cranks up the rock at the family barbecue.”
