written by Jeffery Roberson and Jacques Lamarre musical direction by Gerald Goode directed by Michael Schiralli After 25 years of slaving over a hot stove cooking up new songs and routines, Varla Jean Merman is...tired. Can she find inspiration from the queens that came before her and look to a new generation of Drag Race stars to find the strength to carry on? Filled with showstopping costumes, skyscraping wigs and a smidge of human emotion, Varla confronts her legacy in this funny and heartfelt new show.
