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 ā 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 ā 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.

My oldest daughter and I went to see this show. Having never watched the TV show I had no idea what to expect. We were amazed by the level of talent and beauty before us! We had great seats and such a wonderful time. Very high quality entertainment. We were so impressed with the whole show. My name is Angie, and there were two beauties with spin off names, Vanjie and Angeria performing. My daughter says, "you are well represented here tonight Mom"loved that! Planning to start binge watching the show now. This was my first Drag Show and there will be more. I am a seasoned show goer and I rate this a 10. Top tier entertainment š
We really enjoyed the All Stars 9 cast show. The quick drag portion was kinda funny but not necessary. The fabulous stars slayed!!! I have no complaints.
Such an amazing show. I wish I couldāve saw RuPaul, but it was great without them as well.
The Queens of All Stars 9 were incredible! A great show.
The show was amazing!! And the girls did so great, Shannel is an amazing host, and I was blown away by the choreography.
The performers were all highly talented and professional. The show was supposed to start at 8, but didn't start until 8:30, though, and I could have done without the filler of the audience participation (the 10 year-old participating was a bit cringe). Outstanding cast.
What a great show and all the performers were wonderfully fabulous! Wish theyād had all the contestants from the show but you canāt have it all. Only gripe is the meet and greet was a bit rushed and the performers didnāt interact ver much.
The show itself was fantastic and fun, however the seats were not the greatest. We purchased orchestra seats and no where in the description or seating layout didnāt say it was an obstructed view. We could not see the right side of the stage or when the performers went to the higher scaffold. I think that you need to clearly put that somewhere on the website so buyers can make a more informed decision
The Drag Queens were fun, but I was hoping to see RuPaul there. In the 90s RuPaul was and continues to be my Elegance/Class Hero!!!
It was a ton of fun! Love the choreo and pacing of the show. The drag queens were engaging with the audience
My mom, dad, and I went to go see Drag Race Live and it was incredible! I got us tickets a week prior as I wasn't sure I'd be able to go but it all worked out. The line was fast, music inside prior to the gig was awesome, and the crowd was diverse filled w/ love. I will get get there early for merchandise as the line was long and there were only 2 people working the concession. I got merch during close to the ending of intermission and there was still a bit of a line. Let's get to the SHOW! It was everything and more, the queens looked stunning, choreography was on point, so much interaction with the crowd! I'd go again, will likely!
The best night ever!!! Such great entertainers! Truly amazing talent!!!! Please come back!!!
Shannel, Vanjie, Angeria, Jorgeous, Roxxxy, and Miss Plastique Tiara really brought it! Such a fun show, loved every minute of it. So glad we sprung for the meet and greet.
We had a blast! The audience added to the good vibes.Everyone there loved it. The Queens were high energy and just plain fun.
This is one of the best shows Iāve seen to date. It was actually more entertaining than the Las Vegas live!
I took a friend for her 60th birthday and there was a group of four of us. The performances were so fun, we loved the costumes. I have not laughed that much in a long time! We will definitely get tickets if they tour near again. Such a fun night with friends!
This has to be the best group of queens for Ru Paul Live. Such a good time. Must see!!!
We've been to a few drag shows, but nothing compares to this. The charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent in this show is off the charts! Costumes are fabulous plus the music and dancing are incredible. These are beautiful and talented queens that everyone should go see. For fans of the TV show, this is like a dream come true - seeing the queens live was such a special experience.
My god was I excited for this show. I went into this show knowing that these performers and entertainers were some of the most professional in the industry and knew this performance was going to be very high quality. My expectations were greatly surpassed as each performance was so incredible and each individual queen had their own number that was unique to their character and so insanely amazing. Shannel was the most incredible and amazing host that I would want to see perform and host every show I go to. All of the queens brought beautiful outfits that were breath taking and it was overall one of the best shows Iāve ever seen. If money grew on trees I would go to every performance of theirs and support these artists doing their work exceptionally. The venue was also great too! Nice and clean, very good views, and nice air conditioning. I want to thank all of the queens for the hard work and dedication they put into the show because it was one of the best shows Iāve ever been able to attend!
