Drag Racing

Life can be a drag sometimes...

Tonight we are off to see Hairspray the latest show this season in our Broadway Across America series.  It was one of the shows I was looking forward to this season.  I remember enjoying the movie and have heard barely a bad thing about its Broadway musical incarnation.  Comedy writer/Advocate columnist/Hollywood Squares regular, Bruce Vilanch, is filling the dress as Edna Turnblad in the touring production.  I am sure he is no Harvey Fierstein...but I have no means for comparison...so I am sure Bruce will be fine

I would like to see Connie & Carla this weekend (not sure it is going to happen since my parents arrive next weekend and there seems like a lot to do).  I have seen commercials where they have the two are singing a variety of showtunes while doing their Victor/Victoria (woman pretending to be a man pretending to be woman) thing... and it looks like it could be fun.  Nia Vardalos pretty much said she wrote scenes in to just include her favorite Broadway music....considering her choice of leading men (John Corbett in "Greek" and David Duchovny here), maybe Nia really is a gay male trapped in the body of a woman!

And yet one more note.... on Friendster, I was curious to see how many of my 3000+ "friends" live in Arizona -- only 11, including 3 drag queens!   Their hometown city does not actually exist but the trio (masquerading as Celine Dion, Tina Turner, and Bette Davis) for some reason decided to plant themselves, at least cyber-ly, in Arizona.
