August 22, 2018• byMichael Strangeways

You just know, Coco Montrese is stewing somewhere about this…

Her arch-rival MISS ALYSSA EDWARDS, the duo both stars of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 5 (and All-Stars 2) just announced she’s starring in her OWN reality series called DANCING QUEEN to air on NETFLIX beginning October 5th. The 8 episode series will focus on Alyssa, aka Justin Johnson out of drag, the tongue poppin’ Texas pageant queen who has won legions of fans for her brash humor, dance moves and on point performances.

Filmed in her hometown of Mesquite, Texas, the show will follow the star balancing her drag life with her dance life; the diva has owned her own dance studio for the last 14 years, so DANCING QUEEN will also feature adorable youth dance students as well as their scary dance moms.

Oh, and expect visits from Alyssa’s drag family including her daughter, Shangela.

It should be fun!

Alyssa is a producer on the show as well (smart cookie!) along with the World of Wonder gang (the producers of RPDR).

All drag fans will be doing Dancing Queen marathons circa Oct 5th…

The queen you know. The stories you don't.
