“Are you serious?”: Here’s how Drag Race UK fans reacted to Pop of the Tops: The Rusical
The cast of Drag Race season six has delivered one of the finest Rusicals franchise history, and fans can’t get enough Spoilers ahead.
For this week’s maxi-challenge, the seven remaining contestants were tasked with singing (live!) in the Pop of the Tops: The Rusical – a one-night-only spectacular celebrating the most iconic pop divas in British music herstory. “We’ll be honouring Cilla Black, Dame Shirley Bassey, Sir Elton John, George Michael, Kylie Minogue, Adele, and Geri Halliwell,” Ru explained. “Now, La Voix and Kyran, as the winners of last week’s challenge, you’re in charge of assigning the roles.” After listening to the music, La Voix and Kyran began to allocate parts.
Unlike past seasons, there was little to no drama during the casting process – aside from Actavia and Charra Tea undergoing a last-minute audition for the role of Geri.
With their roles selected, the queens met with Drag Race staple and Seduction songstress Michelle Visage and Jono McNeil to brush up on their vocals.
