At the 1970 premiere of “Myra Breckinridge,” which took place during the first-ever week of Gay Pride, Mae West let it be known, “It looks like the gay boys are taking over!”
Looking at the current New York theater, Mae would have to add the words “lesbian” and “nonbinary” to her proclamation. Shows like “Titanique,” “The Big Gay Jamboree” and “Oh, Mary!,” a play that is grossing over $1 million a week on Broadway, make it clear the whole LGBTQ team is taking over.
“Drag: The Musical” opened Monday at New World Stages, and for much of the show, it joins the illustrious company of those aforementioned titles.
