The Legend of Georgia McBride

by Matthew Lopez
directed by Gregory Ramos

produced April 17-May 5, 2019
Wednesdays-Saturdays at 7:30pm
Saturday & Sunday Matinees at 2pm
As luck would have it, Casey is fired from his gig as an Elvis impersonator at a struggling dive bar on the same day his wife announces they are going to have a baby. So when Miss Tracy Mills is hired to create a drag show to replace his act, Casey decides to trade in his jumpsuit for a dress and discovers he has a whole lot to learn about show business—and himself. A joyous and music-filled comedy about finding your true voice – and a glorious tribute to the art of drag.

…a delightful, genderbending farce…a funny and often glorious tribute to the art of drag…Lopez delivers a strong message on tolerance for the entire spectrum of human sexuality, while creating a barrelful of fun in the process.” —Variety. “[A] heartfelt, feel-good comedy…a spirited defense of drag as a form of cultural protest and a way of life.

Matthew Lopez fills The Legend of Georgia McBride with drag spectacle, but it's the script's warm, wonderful humor that makes the characters so engaging. In the Vermont Stage production, strong comic acting and a rainbow of costumes add up to thoroughly entertaining showmanship.
