Touring drag show that reimagines a 'Night at the Musicals' with 100% live vocals on West End showstoppers.
Dragged to the Musicals comes to the New Theatre Royal in Portsmouth on Saturday 27 February, as part of its UK tour. It's billed as a 'Night at the Musicals' reimagined through the world of drag, which is exactly what it is: West End showstoppers performed by drag artists.
The whole thing is built on 100% live vocals, so there's no lip-syncing here. That's the part that sets it apart from a lot of what you'll find on a drag bill — the singing is the point, not just the costumes and the banter. It's a touring production, so it's not a one-off Portsmouth night; it's the same show that's been playing across the UK, with the West End hits being the through-line.
If you're into musicals but fancy them with a drag twist, this is that. It's the big numbers from the stage, just sung by drag performers rather than the original cast. The live vocals mean you're hearing them actually sing the songs, not just perform to a track, which changes the whole feel of a night like this. It's a touring show, so it's one of several dates it's playing across the country, and Portsmouth is one of them.
