VELOUR: A DRAG SPECTACULAR

Written by Sasha Velour

La Jolla Playhouse
La Jolla, California

Velour: A Drag Spectacular is a powerful coming-of-age tale blending Sasha Velour's journey from a small-town, genderfluid child to a global drag icon with the radical history of drag and queer expression. Created with renowned theater artist Moisés Kaufman, the show features innovative projection mapping, stunning lip-syncs, and deeply personal storytelling. Through emotional and bold performance art, Velour explores themes of belonging, grief, and joy, immersing the audience in a dazzling queer fantasia.
