Dragged to the Musicals

Dragged to the Musicals comes to Harrogate Theatre on Sunday 7 March 2027, with RuPaul's Drag Race UK star Ella Vaday leading the night. It's billed as a drag twist on a classic night at the West End musicals, combining the elegance and extravagance of the theatre with the fierce and fabulous world of drag.

What sets this one apart from a lot of drag is the singing. The show promises 100% live vocals and no lip-sync battles, so you'll hear the queens actually singing rather than miming to a track. They'll be working through sassy showstoppers built around camp choreography, the kind of big numbers you'd expect from a West End stage, just performed by drag artists instead of a musical cast.

Ella Vaday is the main feature, and if you've followed her since Drag Race UK, you'll know she's as much about the performance as the look. The whole night is built around that same energy—theatrical, high-camp, and focused on live singing rather than the usual lip-syncing. It's a drag show that leans into the musical theatre side of things, so it'll suit you if you're into the West End as much as you are into drag.
