This was my first drag show, so I was unaware of what to expect. I have seen a few clips here and there from "RuPaul's Drag Race", but other than that, I had no clue what the performances were going to be like. I went to the show to have a good time, and aw man, did these performers deliver! It was everything I hoped for, plus more.
Everyone's performance and costumes were so different and so magnificent that I could not even begin to compare them and tell you who was the best, so I won't. But I will tell you that I 100% recommend everyone to go see a drag show at least once in your life!
Why?
Because not only were these performers beautiful and talented, but they were funny, confident, supporting, and welcoming. I felt as if I was in a room with friends that just happened to be putting on a show for me and an entire audience. They had so much confidence in the way they presented themselves that it made me want to become more confident in myself.
They poked fun at each other, but they also were so supportive. They made the place feel very inclusive and welcoming.
No matter if it was your first drag show or your 100th drag show, everyone in the audience was having a good time. There were moments where the room roared with laughter! It was amazing!
Yes, the dancing, the lip syncing, and the comedy were all wonderful, but how the Drag Queens and Kings made the audience feel is what I will remember from that night. I felt completely overwhelmed with so much joy that I did not want the show to end.
My first drag show will be something I will never forget. I hope, one day, you get to experience the love and the laughter that comes with a drag show at your first show. This is something everyone should experience at least once because, once you go, if you're like me, you'll want to go to another show very soon.
