The Legend of Georgia McBride

In the organizer's words:

"If you stay till the end, you pay half for the drinks." Elvis impersonator Casey gives his all every night when he performs in a run-down bar in Panama City in front of a few lonely existences. However, the good vibes fail to materialize and not even Casey's new jumpsuit can help him achieve the desired success. When bar owner Eddie hires his cousin's drag show to attract more customers, Casey loses his job. What now? The rent is overdue and girlfriend Jo is expecting a baby ... The stage is set for the fabulous Miss Tracy Mills, who not only turns the bar but also Casey's life upside down. Because when her partner Miss Anorexia Nervosa drops out ("We're nearly out of vodka too"), Casey makes a spontaneous decision that will change his life. It's "now or never" or "lip sync for your life!": Elvis quiff and guitar are swapped for high heels and make-up, the lame "King" becomes the dazzling "Queen", pale Casey becomes glamorous Georgia and embarks on an exciting journey into the fascinating and colorful world of drag - fierce as hell & bloody hilarious!

From its beginnings in ancient Greece to the successful New York club kids, drag has changed and restaged itself time and again. Since "RuPaul's DragRace" at the latest, drag is no longer just seen as an art form in the mainstream. Miss Tracy Mills and Georgia McBride brilliantly demonstrate that the queens stand up against all forms of discrimination and for humanity and respect. Because "Drag is protest. Drag is a raised fist in a sequined glove. Drag is a whole lot of things, baby, but drag is not for sissies."

With "The Legend of Georgia McBride", Matthew Lopez ("The Legacy") has created a heartbreakingly weird comedy, exciting, liberating and wonderfully queer, a glittering mix of "Some Like It Hot" and "Kinky Boots" that won't leave a dry eye in the house!
