The Bad Judies - New York's Only All-Drag Queen Band - to Perform at Chelsea Table + Stage in June

CHELSEA TABLE + STAGE will present a special Pride show with The Bad Judies, the city’s only all-drag queen band, on Thursday, June 15 at 7:00 PM. The Bad Judies bring you the baddest of the bad, with live music, vocals, dance, and lip-syncing. In addition to their first original song, “Bad Bad Judy,” they perform hits by Lizzo, Elton John, Britney Spears, Kelly Rowland, and beyond. The band is comprised of three very different drag queens, Wesley, Worshiper, and Lyra Vega, each with their own styles and strengths. Together they find a unique blend of comedy, camp, color, fashion, music, and fun. Tickets are $20-$40, in addition to a service charge and a two-item food and beverage minimum. A livestream option is available for $20. CHELSEA TABLE + STAGE is located at 152 West 26th Street.
 
Wesley takes their skills as a singer, dancer, actor and creative to new levels through drag. Starting alone in their bedroom, they have made a name and career for themself in New York City as a full-time drag artist. When they aren’t doing creative makeup looks or gender bending cosplay on TikTok and Instagram, you can find them performing weekly at Tito Murphy’s in Hell’s Kitchen. You also might have seen them competing for the crown at the “Mother” competition finale at Hush club and bar.
 
WorshipHer is a call to action. If you haven’t had a chance to worship, now is the time. She serves bawdy humor, camp, and cleavage. She’s a musical genius and a fierce nightlife sensation. WorshipHer is on her way to becoming a formidable presence in New York City. Sort of like the lingering odor in the subway.
 
Lyra Vega is a New York City queen based out of Manhattan with a passion for live music and singing. With a name that is derived from the Lyra constellation created in classic tale of Orpheus, she constantly strives to combine her musical ability with a cosmic aesthetic. As a working performer, Lyra has weekly shows at various piano bar and live music venues, including The Monster Bar and Stonewall Inn, among others. You can find her on Instagram for all dates and more info at @itslyravega.
