Excerpts from THE BIRDCAGE CABARET WILL OFFER A DIFFERENT KIND OF DRAG SHOW by Mandy Miles | KeysWeekly
Christopher Peterson is taking the downtown drag scene in a different direction.
The master of impersonations, known for singing rather than lip-syncing, Peterson expertly becomes Cher, Julie Andrews, Tina Turner, Barbra Streisand and others. He is now co-producing and directing a whole new show at what will become the Birdcage Cabaret at Aquaplex.
In the coming weeks, the former Sidebar, with its entrance on Angela Street, will become The Birdcage Cabaret.
Peterson will perform in the new variety show at the Birdcage Cabaret, Tuesday, Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights at 8 p.m.
“It’s going to be a mix of singing and lip-syncing, because lip-syncing works if it’s done with the right gimmick and the right songs,” Peterson said. “Each show will feature a rotating trio of drag queens from Aqua — the Aquanettes — each night. But we’ll also have a variety of local performers, female singers – hell, there could even be jugglers and synchronized bowling.”
The show will be 90 minutes long and in three acts.
Sunday nights will feature a show by local drag kings — women performing as men — with additional live entertainment shows planned for Monday and Wednesday nights
