From young gay boy in Mesquite, Texas, to global fame on ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ season 5 and a triumphant return to season 2 of ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars’, Alyssa is hailed as one of “the most powerful drag queens in America” by New York Magazine.
Having recently starred in the critically acclaimed Netflix docuseries Dancing Queen, Ms. Edwards now brings her fully realized autobiographical extravaganza, complete with iconic costumes, high kicks and splits, phenomenal dancers and outrageous tongue pops to the Vaudeville Theatre this summer.
Don’t miss the world premiere of this much anticipated drag spectacular, where her story will be brought to life!

Out West explores race, geography, identity, belonging and hope rooted in multicultural England of past and present.
Tanika Gupta’s The Overseas Student reimagines Gandhi’s formative student years in Victorian England; Simon Stephens’ Blue Water and Cold and Fresh confronts white male privilege in the wake of city lockdown living and Black Lives Matter protests, and Roy Williams’ Go, Girl is a celebratory story of Black female empowerment and everyday heroism.
The world premiere production is co-directed by Lyric Artistic Director and CEO Rachel O’Riordan and 2021 JMK Award winner Diane Page. Set and Costume Design is by Soutra Gilmour, Lighting Design by Jessica Hung Han Yun and Composition and Sound Design by Simon Slater.
