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.
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!
I took my 28-year-old son here who has watched drag race on TV for years now. He was hooting and hollering and having a great time it was so great to see him having such a great time at this live performance! Even if someone who doesn't normally watch the show I had a great time!!!! Totally recommend going!!!!
Still super fun. The queens are great. But it's time to update the show. Give it a creative makeover to showcase more of the queen's talents. Love that it's 90 min tho.
it was nice watching, funny, colorful and the staff was excellent, friendly and in good mood, show was nice - performances stunning to hilarious what I didnt like was the amount of advertisement during the show: Ru Paul beverages et al, just too much carpe diem
Rupaul Vegas live was so much fun. They were interactive with the crowd and incorporated in the show. If you are a fan of the show, you will have have a blast. I had a smile on my face for the full 90 mins show.
My expectations were high and the show exceeded them. Surprise queens delighted, Pit Crew dancers absolutely slayed, and the production on whole had this super fan beaming and screaming from start to finish line!
We were very much looking forward to the show! We ended up very disappointed in the quality of the show, the theater (we had to be moved during the show as someone right behind us threw up) and staging were less than impressive, drinks were way overpriced and we were more upset we wasted our time more than the money. Since it was Vegas we expected there would be more than lip syncing and dancing. Wish it would have been more entertaining.
This show was the best show I seen in Vegas. They kept the audiance involved in the show and made it very entertaining. I would highly recommend you see this show when in Vegas.
Loved the show! So funny and clever. I left with my mood lifted.
Been to many shows this week! This was definitely the most entertaining.
I have been to another one in Reno. This one in Vegas was the best. Amazing queens
I love rpdr on television but there’s nothing like experiencing these talented queens live. Fun, beautiful, and perfectly executed.
Fun, Funny, audience interaction! Beautiful costumes, engaging musical numbers, fabulous makeup. Enjoyable evening!
Show was ok, but the VIP seats make no sense. The booths further back are much better. Save yourself from cranking your neck to see the TV screens. Great queens but the male dancers were certainly working harder.
