America’s favorite yellow family goes rogue in THE SIMSINZ, an unauthorized parody extravaganza that blends your favorite Springfield citizens with unforgettable pop culture and Broadway moments. When Marge starts huffing household cleaning products she envisions a very different -- and very gay -- version of Springfield. Drag performer, 2019 MAC Award nominee, and reigning Miss Stonewall CISSY WALKEN stars as Marge, joined by Coco Taylor (host of Members Only Boylesque), Aria Derci, Pussy Willow and Andy Starling as a bevy of characters. This all-star team of New York drag performers explore a TV classic through queer themes with an extra helping of laughs and love.
THE SIMSINZ runs Fridays, January 24 and February 14 at 10 PM at The Laurie Beechman Theatre inside West Bank Cafe (407 West 42 Street, just west of Ninth Avenue). Tickets are $22, with a $20 food/drink minimum. A $35 VIP ticket that includes reserved seating and a meet-and-greet/photo op are also available. To purchase tickets, call 212-352-3101 or visit www.SpinCycleNYC.com.
