One of the main achievements of DRAG: The Musical, which premiered at the New World Stages in New York, is that it redefined the place of drag queens in the narrative. If in the famous Broadway shows La Cage Aux Folles, Kinky Boots, and Priscilla the Queen of Desert drag queens are only part of the ensemble, then now we finally have a musical where drag queens have rightfully become the main characters! “Two Drag Houses, both alike in indignity,” The Cathouse and The Fish Tank, are passionate rivals, however in order to survive the hard times they must come together, forgive and forget, and make each other stronger in the process, forming the Catfish!
Without Alaska Thunderfuck, who was not only part of the creative team that wrote the book, but was also directly involved in the creation of the musical material alongside Tomas Costanza and Ashley Gordon, there would be no DRAG… She is the heart and soul of the musical. Lisa was excited to speak to Alaska in her interview for the Theatre Times Magazine:
