Mid Tangent Production came up with a sequel to "Snow White and the 7 drag queens" that was shown this past summer. And since the Holidays is upon us, the sequel is aptly titled "Snow White and the drag queens who stole xmas". Almost all of the cast reprised their roles except for one. And instead of playing Millificent, Madame X played the twin sister Madame Grinch. Emily Rogers returned to play Snow White. And as before, she did another fine tap number and good vocal rendition of the songs with parodied lyrics. Tony Lewis wrote and directed this production. Most of the parodied holiday tunes and pop hits were hilarious. The vocals of the cast was mediocre at best, except for Madame Grinch and Snow White. I was not sure if it was the sound system that is not excellent or their voices. But I must say, all the songs were sang live this time instead of some lip synched as it was before. The story revolves around what happened to Snow White and the 7 drag queens after Millificent ceased to be their enemy. Now that Millificent is in the Bahamas for Xmas, her evil twin sister Madame Grinch came to cause grief to the lives of the gurls, Snow White and Harry Prince. As a pay back for not being invited to the Xmas party of the drag queens, Madame Grinch kidnapped Snow White with the intent to cook her. But of course Harry Prince and the drag queens came to rescue Snow White after following the trail of sequins Snow White left behind. And the story ends happily when Madame Grinch was finally invited by the drag queens to their xmas party.
After the show we talked with Madame X and learned that she made her own costumes. Bravo! Looks like her talent extend beyond female impersonation, singing, acting and dancing to Project Runway. This show has two more nights (tomorrow and sunday) at Hydrate 9 pm. Go see it if you can and have a lighthearted fun evening.
