Together at last…two of dragdom’s best and brightest stars, San Francisco’s Queen of Movie Parodies, Miss Peaches Christ and the Clown Queen of Insult Comedy, Miss Bianca Del Rio have teamed up to rule the world…or, at least a stage or two where drag comedy is welcomed. They’ve already slayed San Francisco with their hilarious drag parody of the camp movie classic, What Ever Happened To Baby Jane? as part of Miss Christ’s Midnight Mass movie series staged at the Castro Theater…now, the duo are coming to Seattle on Thursday, June 23, 2016 with “Whatever Happened to Bianca Del Rio?” their skewed take on the Bette Davis/Joan Crawford film about the rivalry between two aged show business sisters.

It’s happening at The Egyptian on Capitol Hill and produced locally by 5 Senses Reeling Events and Qurb Media Group in partnership with Peaches Christ Productions, Seattle International Film Festival, and Seattle PrideFest. Best of all, everyone involved is so confident that Seattle adores these performers in this kind of show that they’ve already booked them for TWO shows that night, at 7 pm and 9 pm! You can snatch tickets NOW over HERE and we’re guessing that this puppy WILL sell out, so don’t wait until the last minute to grab seats.

Here’s some more poo from the press release including a mention that some local stars will be cast in roles in the show, too. NOW is the time to start speculating WHO that will be?

Peaches Christ, a longtime expert on the intersection of horror and bitchery, has wanted to pay tribute to What Ever Happened to Baby Jane? ever since she first began her Midnight Mass movie series in San Francisco nearly 20 years ago. But it wasn’t until she met RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 6 champion and superstar comedian Bianca Del Rio that she knew she’d found her perfect Baby Jane. “It’s one of my favorite movies ever,” Del Rio says. “There’s no modern equivalent of two actresses who hate each other as much as these two did. Everybody is too PC now, trying to be happy and pleasant and not offend anyone. Back then it was really good and dirty. Bette and Joan were brilliant women with amazing careers and balls.”

Del Rio will star with Peaches Christ in the Seattle premiere of Christ’s hilarious stage production, What Ever Happened to Bianca Del Rio? Audiences will find out what happens when two aging drag sisters live out their twilight years together in a hag-arrific house of horrors. Baby Bianca is a former child star who wants to revive the show she made popular as a little girl, when her hit song “I’ve Written a Letter to Draggy” dominated the vaudeville circuit – but her drag sister Peaches proves to be a burden on wheels.

“Peaches said, ‘I’m going to sit in a wheelchair and let you do all the work pushing me around,’” Del Rio recounts. I said, ‘I see a theme here. You do Grey Gardens with Jinkx Monsoon and just sit in a bed, and now I’m pushing you around the stage, you lazy bitch!’”
