Parade Route Complete Cast/Creative Team Revealed for VELOUR: A DRAG SPECTACULAR at La Jolla PlayhouseLa Jolla Playhouse has revealed the complete cast and creative team for its world-premiere production of Velour: A Drag Spectacular, by Sasha Velour and Moisés Kaufman, directed by Moisés Kaufman, in a co-production with Tectonic Theater Project. Velour: A Drag Spectacular will run August 13 through the extended date of September 15 in the Playhouse’s Sheila and Hughes Potiker Theatre.
Created by groundbreaking drag artist Sasha Velour (Smoke & Mirrors, NightGowns, The Big Reveal Live Show) and legendary theatre artist Moisés Kaufman (Here There Are Blueberries, The Laramie Project), Velour: A Drag Spectacular is a sweeping, coming-of-age tale interwoven with the radical history of drag and queer expression. Inspired by Velour's origin story as a small-town, genderfluid child turned globally-renowned drag superstar, the show unfolds through a dazzling blend of innovative projection mapping, video animation, awe-inspiring lip-sync performances, and bold personal storytelling. Known for her emotional and shocking performance art, Velour harnesses the power of drag spectacle to immerse the audience in queer fantasia all while revealing her deepest fears and joys. From the often confusing yet joyous search for belonging, to the deep wells of grief that catapult us to face our inner truths, Velour: A Drag Spectacular is a tour de force, rich with humanity, beauty, and above all else – DRAG. The cast features Sasha Velour, along with Ezra Reaves, Moscato Sky, San Diegan Amber St. James, and understudy Shaun Tuazon.

Moisés’s partnership with Sasha Velour – one of the most entertaining, visionary talents in the drag art form – promises a unique and jaw-dropping performance that charts Sasha’s origin story alongside the history of drag,” said Christopher Ashley, the Rich Family Artistic Director of La Jolla Playhouse. ![]() Hedwig & the Angry Inch at the Maverick Theater Fullerton, CA Lyrics and Music by Stephen Trask Text by John Cameron Mitchell Direction and Choreography by Juztine Tuazon-Martin Vocal Direction by Michelle Hernandez Starring: Dennis Tong as Hedwig Michelle Hernandez as Yitzhak Kobe Darby, Sho Fujieda, Chris Marshall, Chris Gage, Kyle Rinehart... as The Angry Inch Band Hedwig and the Angry Inch is the groundbreaking musical by John Cameron Mitchell and Stephen Trask that Rolling Stone has hailed as “the best rock musical ever.” The story follows Hedwig, a queer punk rocker from East Berlin who, along with the band The Angry Inch, embarks on a tour of revenge that will go down in history.
