This is a simple fact of life: Where there are drag queens there is joy. And there is an abundance of joy on the Arizona Theatre Company stage.
“The Legend of Georgia McBride,” ATC’s current offering, is about Casey, a failed Elvis impersonator who turns to drag to try to make ends meet and care for his pregnant wife.Kevin Kantor made seamless Casey’s transition from a mediocre, swiveling-hips Elvis to a fabulous, high-kicking drag queen.
Armand Fields handsomely played the dual role of the outrageous, and usually drunk, drag queen Rexy and the very macho Jason, Casey’s neighbor. James Pickering is the grungy club owner, Eddie, who turns to the drag queens in hopes he can save his club. Pickering is stellar, and his turn as a bearded drag queen was one of the funniest things we’ve seen on the ATC stage in a long time.
It’s heartening to see Arizona Theatre Company be so brazen while drag queens are being denied their rights and threatened around the country.
