The long-running drag show, Distorted Disney, celebrates its 12th anniversary on Friday, March 22 at The Laurie Beechman Theatre at 9:30 PM.
Distorted Disney is a Las Vegas-style parody revue featuring some of America’s most beloved animated classics performed by a troupe of drag queens. Audiences are taken on a twisted, very adult, journey, where Evil Queens become Mean Girls, Pocahontas is a proud mary, Tinkerbell is an applause junkie, a sleeping beauty has residual narcolepsy and a little mermaid yearns for the carnal benefits of being an anatomically correct woman.
This 80-minute non-stop show features high-energy dance numbers, pop culture, comedy, dazzling costumes and lip-syncing “ladies”—with a bit of Cher, Lady Gaga, Celine Dion and Mariah Carey thrown in for good measure!
Distorted Disney began in March 2012 (originally conceived by Daniel Logan). It rapidly gained a cult following that spawned a slew of holiday themed “Distorted” shows. It also gave birth to the drag performance group Twizted Sisterz and a whole new series of Twizted productions. Current Twizted Sisterz include Bootsie LeFaris, Brenda Dharling, Holly Dae, FiFi DuBois, Cherry Poppins, Inita D. and Androgyny. Past Distorted/Twizted performers include Bob the Drag Queen, Chelsea Piers, Dallas DuBois, Holly Box-Springs, Kizha Carr, Monet X Change, Shenea DeDranke, Shuga Cain, Sutton Lee Seymour, Pixie Aventura and Tina Burner—several of whom have gone on to become stars of the RuPaul’s Drag Race universe.
