What the Critics Say:
- “Stitch-in-your-side funny…full of sass and good spirits.” —NY Times.
- Casey serves as a proxy for straight audience members who don’t get how and why drag is about more than just funny guys in crazy outfits, and Lopez opts to focus on one big, humane message — delivered in a stirring monologue by Rexy — rather than to unpack the scenario’s deeper dimensions of privilege and prejudice.
