Queens of Drama

In Cinema

Original language title: Les reines du drame

Book Tix!

A satirical ode to pop divas and the entitlement of their most ardent gay fans, Queens of Drama is a camp musical cult classic in the making.

Sparks fly when straitlaced ingénue Mimi Madamour competes with out punk rocker Billie Kohler on an early 2000s reality TV singing competition. When Mimi achieves mainstream success but Billie doesn’t, it ignites a decades-spanning romance turned rivalry – as told by a nostalgic gay vlogger in 2055. Featuring songs about everything from attractive muscular women to the joys of fisting, and drawing inspiration from tabloid fodder about icons like Madonna, Britney and Mariah, Alexis Langlois (The Demons of Dorothy, Queer Scream Shorts, MGFF23) has crafted a genuinely unique, queer fantasia with its tongue firmly in cheek.
