THE EXPERIENCE
Rev up your road-trip realness–it’s To Wong Foo Movie Bingo Night! Join drag darling Violet Hex for an evening of big laughs, big looks, and even bigger attitudes as we celebrate this camp-classic ode to friendship, transformation, and choosing a fabulous outfit for every occasion.
ON SCREEN: To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar
1995. Directed by Beeban Kidron. Runtime: 1 hour 49 minutes. Rated PG-13.
Manhattan drag queens Vida Boheme and Noxeema Jackson impress regional judges in competition, securing berths in the Nationals in Los Angeles. When the two meet pathetic drag novice Chi-Chi Rodriguez — one of the losers that evening — the charmed Vida and Noxeema agree to take the hopeless youngster under their joined wing. Soon the three set off on a madcap road trip across America and struggle to make it to Los Angeles in time.
ON STAGE: Violet Hex
