What is drag musical?

A drag musical is a theatrical performance that features drag queens singing and dancing, often in extravagant costumes and makeup. The genre combines elements of musical theater with the art form of drag, which originated in LGBTQ+ communities as a form of cultural expression and resistance. Drag musicals often feature songs and comedic skits with themes related to gender identity, sexuality, and LGBTQ+ issues more broadly. Famous examples of drag musicals include the long-running Off-Broadway hit "Hedwig and the Angry Inch" and the popular reality TV competition "RuPaul's Drag Race," which has also spawned several spin-off stage productions.
