Event Description
An original Drag Play by Drag in Concept
Drag in Concept is back with a SHEQUEL!
The orginal Heartbreak Hotel, which debuted in Summer 2023, saw four devastatingly beautiful (and devastatingly heartbroken) drag queens cope with a live-on-stage group breakup.
Heartbreak Hotel 2: The Rebound follows our four gal pals (Aria Okay, Henrietta Dubét, Jackbox Jayne & Ket Bush) as they move on in the only way they know how - with a rebound! Who will succesfully win over their new love interest (Eddi Licious)? Will the arrival of two of his exes (Lola Maneata, Ghost of Judith) foil the girls' plan to find love and heal their broken hearts?
Opening acts from local heartthrobs (and the dreamiest drag kings in town) Sylvester Stalletto and Chain-him Tatum will leave you hot under the collar and ready for a raunchy evening of passion, heartbreak & drag. With brand new and exclusive numbers, new cast members, fresh choreography and an original script, Heartbreak Hotel 2: The Rebound blends drag and theatre to deliver a night of non stop high-camp and high-production entertainment.
Heartbreak Hotel 2: The Rebound is a 19 production.
