HOUSTON – It’s a local production bringing 50′s and 60′s hits, lots of heart, and even bigger hair!

Drag Wonderettes, playing now at Stages, is a re-imagining of the jukebox musical comedy ‘The Marvelous Wonderettes’ celebrating friendship, love, and music in a whole new way.

The show stars Austin Colburn, Marco Camacho, and Mark Ivy - the Drag Wonderettes, who joined Houston Life for an interview and performance.

About The Show

- A new twist on the off-broadway smash The Marvelous Wonderettes, re-imagined as a high-drag performance

- You’ll hear the same ‘50s and ‘60s songs from the original show like “Stupid Cupid,” “Lollipop,” and “It’s My Party” and get a whole new view of how friendship can be truly marvelous.

- These queens are bringing a whole new level of fabulous to the stage!

- Playwright by Roger Bean and directed by Mitchell Greco.

- The performers in Drag Wonderettes portray drag artists who are part of “The House of Amandas,” and the show as a whole honors drag as an art form, but you don’t have to be familiar with drag to appreciate the story of friendship.

- The show runs now through July, 2nd. For tickets and more information, click here.
