You think you know The Supreme Fabulettes? Well, think again! The Supreme Fabulettes in Viva La Drag tells the uncensored (and mostly true) story of the rise of The Most Successful Drag Group in History! This time the wigs are BIGGER... the notes are HIGHER... but who is the fourth mystery member of the group?
You may have already seen The Supreme Fabulettes, London's acclaimed all-male female close harmony vocal group, in concert. But that was only half the story...
The world premiere of The Supreme Fabulettes in Viva La Drag, directed by Klylie?Minogue's creative director?WilLiam Baker, will reveal the previously untold, uncensored (and mostly true) story of the girls' 50-year and eternally young career together in wigs and heels, including:
The time they were recording a country album in Nashville, Tennessee and they got sidetracked into opening a whorehouse.... The time the girls were called up for military service in the war against cheap hair extensions and plastic shoes... And their darkest days, when they ended up in prison for smuggling prescription pills in their wigs...
WilLiam Baker said:?"The?Supreme Fabulettes have been something of a mystery up to now. But that's about to change as we reveal the story behind their journey together from rags to drag success. There's enough scandal, backstabbing, love, tears and drama in The Supreme Fabulettes in Viva La Drag for a dozen John Waters movies!"
