Jinkx Monsoon will star as Judy Garland in the revival
of Peter Quilter's End of the Rainbow musical and Friends of
Dorothy AKA The Gays, as well as Friends of Jinkx couldn't be more excited.
Monsoon, clearly the biggest winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race, has
done everything from playing Matron Mama Morton in Chicago, Audrey
in Little Shop of Horrors, Ruth in Pirates! The Penzance
Musical, and Mary Todd Lincoln in Oh, Mary! and says approach
to playing Garland will be different:
"I know people know me for impressions and
imitations—but I'm thrilled for this chance to explore beyond the laughter and
into the heart of why we still think so much about Judy today. Her tale is one
that we can't forget, especially as women in entertainment are still fighting
for autonomy and agency in their own careers. I'm ready to bring new aspects of
her story to the stage, and to share what I find so tragically beautiful about
her life.”
Monsoon Season comes to England from May 15 through June 21,
2026, at the Soho Theatre. |
"she could give a free concert in my kitchen and I still wouldn’t go" -- hahahahahaha!
ReplyDeleteAs someone who deals with contractors, you should leave them alone when they're working; chitchat costs $$$. The Indians must have been desperate. And Republicans have been trying to fuck the ACA since it was born.
