Eric Bergstrom Editor

Casey is a husband who bounces rent checks to buy pizza and new jumpsuits.

Jo, his wife, is tired of being the heavy and things look even more dire when she discovers she’s pregnant and parenthood and eviction both loom ahead.

Though Casey is a talented Elvis impersonator complete with rhinestone jumpsuits, no one ever goes to the bar where he performs. When the bar’s owner brings in his cousin Bobby, better known as Miss Tracy Mills and her drag queen sidekick, Rexy (Miss Anorexia Nervosa) to replace Casey, it seems his performing career is over. He accepts a job behind the bar until one night Rexy goes on a bender and cannot go on with her Edith Piaf number. Casey volunteers to bring back Elvis but is instead talked into going on for Rexy as Edith Piaf. He’s a mess but the performer in him takes over and he manages to survive the evening. Soon under Miss Tracy’s expert tutelage Georgia McBride becomes a huge hit. Meanwhile though, super heteronormative southern boy Casey is feeling conflicted about his growing success as Georgia and is keeping his new gig secret from the ever more pregnant Jo. Also Rexy shows back up and is pissed to have been replaced by Casey who is not gay and does not appreciate the history or culture of drag performance. But the money flowing in is the grease keeping everything spinning along and Miss Anorexia Nervosa rejoins the act with Tracy and Georgia. The now crowded bar patrons can’t get enough and all is humming along.

This is until Jo unexpectedly shows up at a performance one night.

All roles in the show are played by 5 actors featuring multiple lip sync and dance drag performances with the “backstage/onstage” transformations happening in front of the audience. It is laugh out loud funny and heartwarming. Written by gay Puerto Rican American playwright Matthew Lopez.
