A Gay’s Dream: Broadway’s Leading Ladies with a Gender-Bent Twist!
February 26, 2025
Have you ever wondered what it would be like if Glinda in Wicked was a man, or if the Witch in Into the Woods was played by a drag queen? Join us at 54 Below for A Gay’s Dream: Broadway’s Leading Ladies with a Gender-Bent Twist, featuring male and nonbinary performers and drag artists performing songs sung by female characters in musical theater! Produced and directed by Toby Chernesky, this show celebrates the commonly felt desire to sing female songs like “Defying Gravity” or “I’m Still Hurting” in a dazzling evening of diverse performances of your favorite leading ladies like you’ve never seen before! Audiences can expect a community celebration of queeress, all types of voices, spectacle and authenticity, up-and-coming performers and your favorite NYC drag artists, all wrapped up in a beautiful bow bound to leave you gagged!
Music direction by Mason Margut.
