On Sundays in February and March, the Golden Gays™, the Golden Girls Musical Drag Troupe will perform live at the Golden Girls Kitchen at the South Street Seaport in NYC. Many of the seating have already sold out, and they extended once already, so get your tickets while you can. We do a different set at 10:45 AM, 11:45 AM and 12:45 PM. Be a pal and a confidant and come see us!
After an exceptional run in Portland, Oregon we are looking to take the show to other cities. We’re currently working on Philly, Boston, Nashville and Washington D.C. If you have any leads on these or other cities, please email BeaArthurAstralDame@gmail.com. We are typically looking at smaller venues, 100 seats or less, that have a piano (though track capabilities are a possibility), a simple light and sound plot, two mics and a technician.
Love you all and can’t wait to Bea in your town!
