Set in a dystopian future, the stars of RuPaul’s Drag Race must choose between the real world and the artificial world they have come to know. The 2023 show delivers an all-new Sci-Fi production specially designed for large venues and arenas. “We’ve really elevated the show this year with a cohesive story line that weaves theater into large scale concert style performance. It’s a multimillion-dollar production that rivals the largest popstars in the world,” says Brandon Voss, the show’s producer.
“WERQ THE WORLD is the official RuPaul’s Drag Race tour for a reason,” says Jon Norris of Voss Events. “It is the biggest, most spectacular drag show on the planet. The music, sets, fashion, choreography and lighting in this production are like nothing fans of drag have ever seen before.”
Acclaimed for their amazing production values, this is the fifth iteration of the ground-breaking tour in the UK.
