And now, ladies and gentlemen...the Keeper of the Keys, the Countess of the Clink, the Mistress of Murderers Row, Jinkx Monsoon!
"Everyone has been talking about Broadway basically since I was three years old. This is a manifestation moment," said the drag legend and two-time winner of RuPaul's Drag Race on her upcoming Broadway debut. Jinkx will play "Matron 'Mama' Morton" in Chicago beginning January 16 in an 8-week limited engagement, becoming the first drag queen to play the role on Broadway.
"I think [the role] is very old school in the best way... in a way that fans of musical theatre really crave- I think we have a yearning for that kind of golden era entertainment," Jinkx explained to BroadwayWorld's Richard Ridge. "I get to be a part of it and bring my own experiences and uniqueness... nerve, talent and charisma into a well-oiled machine."
