Jinkx & Major Scales Show To Wrap Up Seattle Rep’s 2024 Season!

May 20, 2023• byMichael Strangeways

Seattle Rep announced their plans for the upcoming 2023/2024 season back in April which included the news that they were producing 8 shows for the next season but they only announced the titles of seven of those shows, leaving the identity of the final show, set for May/June of next year, a mystery…

Well, until now because they’ve just announced that our own favorite pair of Vaudevillians, the delightful cabaret duo of JINKX MONSOON and her musical partner MAJOR SCALES will return to Seattle Rep to fill that final slot with their new show  Jinkx Monsoon & Major Scales: Together Again, Again! opening May 31, 2024 for a month long run.

The duo last played at the Rep back in 2015 with their holiday show, Unwrapped.

It’s a surprise that this show is happening…Jinkx Monsoon’s career has been booming of late. The two time winner of hit television show RuPaul’s Drag Race, the one time Seattle resident recently broke box office records on Broadway which she appeared in the long running musical Chicago this past winter. Right after that gig wrapped, news broke that Jinkx was signed for a big guest star role on the long running British science-fiction series Dr. Who which she then filmed just this month.

The press release reveals the plot of the new show:

The year is 2065. The sun has exploded, a dystopian nightmare has been realized, and the world has been taken over by authoritarian lizard people. “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Winner Jinkx Monsoon and musical prodigy Major Scales aren’t on the best of terms, but decide to put their falling-out behind them for a final reunion extravaganza. From the creators of 2014’s crowd favorite The Vaudevillians, experience the comedy, music, and saucy stylings of two of the Pacific Northwest’s standout entertainers.

The show is a year away. Single tickets go on sale August 14, 2023; Subscriptions on sale now. More details to be announced closer to the date.

Here are details on the rest of Seattle Rep’s entire 2023/24 Season which includes another LGBTQ+ show of interest the award winning FAT HAM.

Against the backdrop of the Civil War, the beloved March sisters grow together and apart, discovering love, joy, and loss as they learn the importance of family and being true to oneself.

Aging Cervantes professor Jose Quijano isn’t going down without a fight.

Reality and fantasy blur in the Texas desert, as Jose dubs himself Don Quixote and embarks on a fantastic, death-defying journey to discover the truth of his past. Underscored by vibrant Tejano music, Quixote Nuevo is a humorous and heartfelt quest towards becoming the hero of your own story.

When one becomes naturalized, she promises to marry the other so he can receive his papers and truly start his life. As time passes and their relationship shifts, both must confront what they are willing to sacrifice to live freely and belong. This searing and captivating new play by Pulitzer Prize-winning Martyna Majok asks what we’re willing to risk for those we love.
