Sasha Velour is developing an electrifying brand-new show at Woolly Mammoth. Experience Velour’s evolution as a multi-media artist with the world debut of TRAVESTY, a tribute to the disruptive and political power of drag. Velour is known for her unique fusion of lip sync performance, video art, and storytelling. She is the winner of Season 9 of RuPaul’s Drag Race (2017), the founder and host of New York City’s legendary drag revue NightGowns (running since 2015) and has toured two celebrated one-queen theater shows around the world—Smoke & Mirrors (2019-2022), and The Big Reveal (2023-2025).
Her newest production, TRAVESTY, follows the queer history of a single spot throughout time — A witch burns in a field; a vaudeville con-artist conjures “spirits”; an underground gay bar fights back against the police. As Velour embodies different characters, accompanied by a diverse musical soundtrack, unforgettable reveals, and some of the most show-stopping costumes ever seen on stage, she invites the audience to take part in the recurring cycle of existence, resistance, and camp in the face of oppression that IS drag. Part performance art, part cinema, part call to action, TRAVESTY will have you screaming at the top of your lungs, dancing in the aisles, and inspired to change the world! Tickets for TRAVESTY start at $25 for Golden Ticket Holders and $40 Full Price
“Drag is the embodiment of life, liberty, and autonomy, so it’s the perfect time to present a bold theatrical tribute to it, just steps from our nation’s capital (and in the 250th anniversary of our independence!). I’m so excited to partner with Woolly Mammoth Theater, and their legacy of making boundary-breaking, equitable, and original theatre that speaks to the present,” says Sasha Velour.
