It was very difficult, but we did it.
Yes, the initial kernel of what it is, I like the idea of it being two rival drag houses. So it's like, originally it was like, this is the singing house and this is the dancing house. But it turned into just like, we're kind of the same, but we hate each other sort of thing. Which is, you know, that's how it goes in life sometimes. And then we wanted to have like a family element to it.
So one of the drag queens has to call her brother, who she hasn't talked to in five years. They don't get along at all. And then her brother comes into town because he can possibly help them get out of financial trouble. He brings along his son, who's 10 years old, and who just...
His father doesn't know what to do with him because he's like, he wants to wear his mom's glasses and he doesn't, he isn't connecting. And then he discovers drag and is like, oh, wait, like this is kind of sickening. I love this, you know?
And so it's about all of those things. There's a lot of like family elements to it, whether it's your biological family or your chosen family.
And yeah.
I can't imagine. I don't know. I think that it would be great, probably, because it's like... When you have shame as a young person, which there was a lot regarding being feminine or dressing in flamboyant clothes or whatever. When those things are completely not allowed, then it becomes like shame. And then you have to spend a lot of time unlearning that. And... reintegrating that into yourself.
And so I guess there would have just been like less time having to unlearn stuff.
Well, And just a side note, my mom is now the biggest fan of Alaska, of me, and my biggest supporter. She told me don't play like a girl because she was trying to protect her child. You know what I mean? That's how it was. But, yeah, I mean, the fact that, like... Children being in proximity to drag is now like a hot button political issue. We started this eight years ago.
That was not even on the table. So it's a little preposterous that our musical is literally about that.
But it's also like wonderful. I mean, you know, I mean, when... When it's our turn on the chopping block, which it is sometimes with politics, we know what to do. This isn't a new story. And we know how to fight back and we know how to organize. So we know how to lean on each other. And so that's what we're going to do. And the musical is part of that.
right now when it's like that's exactly what we need yeah and people come back so many times oh there there's a couple who has seen the show 16 times as of today oh my god so will you write another musical oh god when i yes i mean maybe i don't know yes yes yeah why not i love it right here right now another musical will there be a drag the musical the movie That'd be great.
I would love that too.
Yeah.
Oh, okay.
Okay.
Okay.
Okay. Okay.
I don't think I've done that. You don't think? I don't know. Again, brain full of holes. But no, I was always dating older guys so they would buy stuff for me.
Oh, I have. Wait, I have. Okay. Yeah.
