RuPaul's Drag Race star Alaska and her sidekick Handsome Jeremy premiere tribute to America's favorite Dark Lady.
April 7 - 16 at The Laurie Beechman Theatre
RuPaul's Drag Race favorite ALASKA and her sidekick HANDSOME JEREMY return to New York with the premiere of CHER AND CHER ALIKE. Performances begin April 7 at The Laurie Beechman Theatre.
She is an icon. A legend. And a goddess. She is: the one and only CHER. Chanteuse ALASKA and her one-man band HANDSOME JEREMY have a long-running obsession with the singular-named Diva, and have lovingly crafted CHER AND CHER ALIKE -- A Tribute to the Goddess. Presented in their irreverent and humorous style, Alaska and Jeremy channel Cher, covering songs from her enormous discography, moments from her IMDB page, and even touch on a few of the tunes that should have been sung by Cher all along! Attention all Gypsies, Tramps and Thieves: this is a show you won't Believe, and if you miss it, you'll surely want to Turn Back Time, babe.
After her spaceship crashed in the Matanuska Valley, a remote part of south-central Alaska, the U.S. government recovered an emaciated… make that an emancipated alien, or that’s how the story goes. Alaska went on to become one of the final 3 contestants on the fifth season of RuPaul's Drag Race on Logo. In October 2013, she starred in The Rocky Horror Picture Show at The Woodlawn Theater in San Antonio.
