Everyone deserves a little chaos, and this show delivers it in dazzling style. Tash York’s middle name should have been chaos, because she sure knows how to bring it. And forget sipping wine from a glass; York encourages the people to partake in a cheeky gulp from goon bags tucked within a fabulously sequinned top.
Each night features a changing roster of three drag artists, all with their own flair and wow factor. York is in charge of cranking up the unpredictability, swapping out planned performance tracks to push the guest artists into thrillingly quick-witted spontaneity. The chaos dial keeps getting turned up: for example, a twerking Shrek might greet you with moves that leave the audience simultaneously laughing and questioning reality, and that’s before the circus-style drag routine featuring giant balloons. Even the spectators get in on the action, shaping the show via QR code prompts. Participation is never pushed but enthusiastically embraced and, truthfully, everyone has too much fun to resist. Adding to the competition for top act of the night are improv games and challenges where the crowd decide the rules; think rapid-fire song performances where the audience choose the playlist. This show is a brilliant way to see and support a range of amazing artists that will stay with you long after the stage lights have dimmed.
