WOW Presents Plus will celebrate the 1,000th performance of “RuPaul’s Drag Race Live” with a special broadcast from Las Vegas as part of a standalone special.
The global broadcast of the performance will begin at 9:30 p.m. PT on March 15.
The Las Vegas stage show, which premiered in 2020 at the Flamingo Hotel, features a rotating cast of past competitors from across the “Drag Race” franchise. Set to perform in the 1,000th show special are the residency’s current cast members, Asia O’Hara, Ginger Minj, Jaida Essence Hall, Kylie Sonique Love, Morphine Love Dion and Plane Jane, alongside surprise guests.
In a statement to Variety, World of Wonder co-founders and “Drag Race” producers Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato said, “Our 1,000th performance confirms that ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race Live!’ is a must-see experience worthy of Vegas’s iconic strip. It is a testament to the charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent of the many queens who have both appeared on the TV show and dazzled audiences from the stage of the legendary Flamingo.” They continued, “We’re thrilled to celebrate this milestone on WOW Presents Plus, with a live broadcast of the 1,000th show, and a brand-new season of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race Live! Untucked,’ taking viewers behind the scenes.”
The second season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race Live! Untucked” will premiere on April 4, with reigning winner of “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 16, Nymphia Wind, joining the cast.
“RuPaul’s Drag Race Live! Untucked” takes audiences behind the scenes of the stage show and follows the queens on their Vegas adventures. Season two will continue the format established in season one, and add Wind to the cast of returning queens: Derrick Barry, Bosco, Lawrence Chaney, Kennedy Davenport and Latrice Royale.
