Elite Manhattan drag queens Vida Boheme (Patrick Swayze) and Noxeema Jackson (Wesley Snipes) impress regional judges in competition, securing berths in the Nationals in Los Angeles. When the two meet drag novice Chi-Chi Rodriguez (John Leguizamo), the charmed Vida and Noxeema agree to take the hopeless youngster under their wing. Soon, the three set off on a madcap road trip across America to make it to Los Angeles in time, in this film hailed as “a nightmare for anyone whose job is to put the letters on the marquee.”

Join us before the movie for a burlesque show hosted by Queenie Von Curves!


Known as the Rubenesque Royale of Burlesque, Queenie von Curves is the producer of Bare Book Club Minneapolis, director of Dr. Sketchy's Minneapolis, dance instructor/creator of Dance for EVERY Body, body impression painter under The Curvy Canvas, and cast member of Black Hearts Burlesque. With her unorthodox style of striptease, cheeky sensuality, and clever costuming, it's no wonder the Quintessence of Curves and Quirk has been entertaining audiences across the country, celebrating her bat mitzvah this year with 13 years in the biz!
