As its title suggests, Drag: The Musical has sass in abundance. Those willing to look beneath the off-Broadway plays sequin-studded surface, however, will find a thoughtful tale about family, self-acceptance and the sanctity of LGBTQ-inclusive spaces.

RuPauls Drag Race veteran Alaska Thunderfuck , one of the musicals stars and also a co-writer, worked with director-choreographer Spencer Liff to create a show that would offer a sneak attack on audiences emotions.

If you love drag, its going to make sense to you and its going to speak to you. If you know nothing about drag, its going to make sense to you and its going to speak to you, Alaska told HuffPost. Its funny and stupid, but it also has something to say, and, I hope, could possibly make you cry.

The writer-performer added: You can bring the kids, you can bring your straight dad and you can bring your grandparents, and everybody will come away feeling like we have more in common with each other than we have differences.
