RuPaul’s Drag Race Live! is set to reach an extraordinary milestone as it celebrates its 1,000th performance in Las Vegas. To mark the occasion, the show will be broadcast live to audiences worldwide via WOW Presents Plus on March 15 at 4:30 am GMT.
The Las Vegas production, inspired by the globally acclaimed reality show RuPaul’s Drag Race, has become a staple on the Strip, bringing fans an electrifying live experience featuring a rotating cast of drag superstars. The milestone event will see a dazzling lineup of performers, including Asia O’Hara, Ginger Minj, Jaida Essence Hall, Kylie Sonique Love, Morphine Love Dion, and Plane Jane. The queens will also be joined by special surprise guests for an unforgettable evening of charisma, uniqueness, nerve, and talent.
World of Wonder co-founders Fenton Bailey and Randy Barbato expressed their excitement about the milestone, stating, “Our 1,000th performance confirms that RuPaul’s Drag Race Live! is a must-see experience worthy of Vegas’s iconic Strip. It is a testament to the many queens who have both appeared on the TV show and dazzled audiences from the stage of the legendary Flamingo.”
Adding to the celebration, WOW Presents Plus will also launch the second season of RuPaul’s Drag Race Live! Untucked on April 4.
