Elite Manhattan drag queens Vida Boheme (Patrick Swayze) and Noxeema Jackson (Wesley Snipes) impress regional judges in competition, securing spots in the Nationals in Los Angeles. When the two meet sad drag novice Chi-Chi Rodriguez (John Leguizamo), the charmed Vida and Noxeema agree to take the hopeless youngster under their joined wing. Soon the three set off on a madcap road trip across America and struggle to make it to Los Angeles in time. THE PERFORMANCE: Dazzling entertainment featuring Denver's most amazing Drag Queen performers, hosted by Denver PRIDE emcee DeMarcio. JUKEBOX DRAG will be an electric explosion of premier drag, with incredible dancers, memorable music and fierce female illusion – geared for all ages.  If you would like to support DeMarcio and the Drag Queen performers, please consider donating to The Center on Colfax at lgbtqcolorado.org.
