RuPaul's Drag Race on Tour
Even beamed into people's living rooms through their TVs, RuPaul's Drag Race is one of the biggest and most fabulous shows on Earth — it was only a matter of time before its cavalcade of queens ended up in Las Vegas. Specifically, they took up residence at the Flamingo, in a room that for more than a decade hosted the Donny & Marie variety show. A far more colorful and extremely ambitious production, RuPaul's Drag Race LIVE! involves big dance numbers, wild wardrobe changes, all-star catwalk crawls, vicious lip-sync battles and, well, a "bitch-slap" competition that calls for audience involvement. The mission is to make fans feel like they're in the middle of an interactive episode taping — a rotating cast of beloved queens previously seen on the show partakes in a series of challenges, performances and face-offs. The crowd determines a winner via the Clap-O-Meter, an outsize applause measurement device made to look like big lips and a giant tongue. The choreography comes from longtime Ru pal Jamal Sims (Step Up, the Oscars, live-action Aladdin) and is set to tunes previously heard on the series (think Lady Gaga, Ariana Grande, Britney Spears) as well as new original music from RuPaul, producer Leland and Tom Campbell. Meanwhile, the vibrant and often delightfully absurd sets transport viewers to a veritable wonderland of neon sass.
RuPaul's Drag Race in Concert
RuPaul's Drag Race debuted on Logo TV in 2009 and became an instant hit. It didn't hurt that the show's host, mentor and head judge was already the most famous and beloved drag queen the world had ever known, but the series quickly demonstrated its power to captivate audiences of all backgrounds and launch incredibly colorful new stars. By the time it kicked off its 12th season in 2020, the reality competition series had been nominated for 23 Emmys and won nine, not to mention increased awareness and (rabid) appreciation of drag culture, as well as gifted unto the world such truly inspired queens as Trixie Mattel, Bianca Del Rio and Alaska Thunderf*ck 5000. In 2017, RuPaul's Drag Race leapt to VH1 and also off of the screen via the Werq the World tour. That larger-than-life spectacle proved to be a hit, running for years and also paving the way for RuPaul's Drag Race LIVE! in Las Vegas, starring show alumni Yvie Oddly, Aquaria, Asia O'Hara, Derrick Barry, the Pit Crew and many more.

It’s my second time seeing Drag Race Live and the production is just incredible and funny.
Fan of the show. First organized drag show. Seen a bunch in local clubs. The girls seemed to be phoneing it in. Somewhat low energy. Would not see again
The best show! A must see for fans of Drag Race!! So entertaining and Asia O’Hara is the best host!
This show was very entertaining! The talent was extremely impressive, and I will attend this show again. It is worth the money to see this one.
It was a fantastic show much better than last time.
My hubby brought to Vegas for my bday. This show was the icing on the cake for me!!!! When they announced Derrick Barry I literally shrieked. I read you never really know who will perform. My daughter and her boyfriend were so jealous when I called them. I was good mother and bought hats, shirts, mugs and fans (my hubby is a master snapper) Thank you Thank you Pure joy radiated from the stage and from the giant smile on my face the whole show.
Amazing show! Over the top! It was one of the best shows that I have ever seen. It was so entertaining, fun, creative, artistic, the dresses were amazing that I felt like I was in a red carpet. The show was so well put together, you can definately see the work, dedication and talent that they put into the show. I felt like I was on one of RuPaul's TV Shows. Congratulations to all of the creators, the team that puts this show together, RuPaul and everyone. Well done! I went to see this show with my husband and he enjoy it! I can't wait to go back and see the show again.
Very nice event and great performances. Really enjoyed the night. Super fun night!
We spent our NYE with this wonderful group of people on stage. Family thoroughly enjoyed and highly recommend.
The show was funny and entertaining. Those girls are full of talent.
The production values of this show are amazing. You will be entertained by great performances from some of the most talented drag queens on Earth. I consider this show a must see in Vegas, no matter who you are.
The show was amazing! It was so fun getting to see the queens that we know and love in person. Asia O'Hara stole the show - she did a great job hosting and her outfits were on point!
We saw three shows while visiting Vegas this time and this was our favorite. The performers were very talented and the crowd was very enthusiastic. Everything about the show was top notch including the sets, costumes and venue. I would highly recommend this show.
The show did not disappoint. It was so good. All seats are pretty good seats but I recommend getting as close as you can. The format of the show we saw was similar to the tv shows. It was so entertaining and funny.
Absolutely the best part of our Vegas trip! If you're a fan of drag race you need to go. Incredibly fun!!
If I could give this show 10 stars, I would! Very entertaining! The Queens are amazing and the Host/Emcee very entertaining!
This show was so much fun. The Queens were great.
This show is so much fun - Singing & dancing & humor & incredible costume changes - from beginning to end its high energy & the audience reaction was incredible- I will probably see the show again-
The show was so fun and I’m not even a huge fan of the tv show. The queens looked amazing and the production value was top notch! I would recommend and would even go again myself!
