Costa Mesa, California – Miss Clair Voyance’s highly anticipated drag show, Broadway Divas, is making its return to the Segerstrom Center for the Arts on Sunday, July 13. This special event will feature an all-star cast delivering a top-notch performance that includes songs from the Broadway songbook performed in a full cabaret style.
The upcoming show will take place at the Samueli Theater, with two performances scheduled for 1 p.m. and 5 p.m. Tickets for the event start at $33.90 and are available for purchase at scfta.org. Each ticket includes a complimentary glass of Champagne for guests aged 21 and over, along with an opportunity to meet the queens after the show.
Since its inception nearly three years ago, Broadway Divas has garnered a favorable reception from the public, transforming from what Voyance initially described as “off off off off off Broadway” into a beloved hit that attracts a demographic of regular theatergoers. Unlike many drag shows that cater primarily to club audiences, this event draws a diverse crowd, eager to celebrate the artistry of drag performance.
The cast for the July 13 show includes Miss Clair Voyance, Leeko Rae, April Showers, Mama St. Merman, and Dolly Levi. The performance is designed to showcase not only extravagant costumes and vibrant sets, but also a carefully curated selection of songs. Featured numbers will include beloved classics from productions such as Pippin, Moulin Rouge, Smash, Annie, and a tribute to Death Becomes Her. Adding to the excitement, Delta Work, an Emmy Award-winning drag performer known for her appearances on RuPaul’s Drag Race, will join the cast as a special guest.
Voyance Productions LLC was established to elevate production quality for drag performances and push creative boundaries within the genre. The July performance is intended to set a high standard for future drag shows while humorously striving to ensure that audiences leave feeling that no other drag show could ever compare.
The show will last approximately 70 minutes without an intermission; however, guests can enjoy Champagne throughout the performance. This arrangement allows attendees to experience a seamless celebration of drag artistry while being entertained by an array of musical selections.
The significance of drag shows, such as Broadway Divas, has been underscored by recent political developments surrounding the LGBTQ+ community. Amidst a tumultuous climate for drag performances, the production provides a vital space for audiences to enjoy a reprieve from the world’s challenges. Voyance originally conceived this show during a time when drag artists faced legislative issues, establishing a platform that reinforces community support and artistic expression.
Inevitably, the performances contribute to a chorus of resistance and solidarity within the queer community, making attendance at such events a powerful statement. Following the July showcasing, Voyance and her team will be returning to the Segerstrom Center for a special Halloween-themed event featuring the Rocky Horror Picture Show.
As anticipation builds for the return of Broadway Divas, this performance not only promises a memorable spectacle but also reaffirms its role as a celebration of diversity, creativity, and cultural expression within the local community. Fans of both drag and Broadway will find an event that offers unrestrained joy and entertainment.
