The Legend of Geor­gia McBri­de

In the organizer's words:

A run-down bar in Panama City, Florida: this is where the stranded and down-and-out meet and are unfortunately only moderately amused by the efforts of young Elvis impersonator Casey. Worse still, his hip-swinging acrobatics don't go down too well with bar owner Eddie either. When Eddie hires his cousin's drag show to attract more customers, Casey promptly loses his job. Clear the stage for the breathtaking drag queen Miss Tracy Mills! But Casey isn't finished yet. More out of necessity than genuine enthusiasm, he and Miss Mills come up with a daring plan that includes high heels, shrill music medleys, lots of eye shadow and a whole lot of polyester ...

Ever since the reality TV show "DragRace" by American actor RuPaul was awarded its first Emmy in 2016, drag has also been perceived in the mainstream as a practice of self-acceptance and self-assertion: "We're dealing with people who are socially shunned, who oppose everything that others think about them with their way of life," says RuPaul, "that shows the resilience of people, and we as viewers can build on that. We spur them on and see how these beautiful creatures have managed to stay true to themselves against all odds."

"The Legend of Georgia McBride" by young American shooting star Matthew Lopez (the London premiere of his "The Inheritance" was nominated for a total of eight Olivier Awards) is a fabulous musical comedy about tolerance, drag and everything that makes a family.
