Drag Race fans were left shocked and gagged over this week’s All-Stars 8 elimination. Spoilers ahead. For this week’s maxi-challenge, the remaining contestants were tasked with performing in the glamourous JOAN: the Unauthorized rusical. “You’ll each get to play Joan at a different stage in her epic career.
First you’ll record your solos with composer Leland. Then you’ll work with the director of hit movies like Hairspray, Rock of Ages and Disenchanted the only and only Adam Shankman,” Ru explained.
After Ru left the workroom, the queens headed to the iconic orange couches to select which Joan they would be portraying. While the division of parts initially had a smooth start, things got a little dicey when Kandy Muse said she only wanted the “No Wire Hangers” Joan – which resulted in the season 13 queen and Jessica Wild battling it out for the part.
In the end, the cast of JOAN: the Unauthorized musical featured Kandy as “No Wire Hangers” Joan, Jessica as “Bring Me The Ax” Joan, Jaymes Mansfield as “Mommie Dearest” Joan, Lala Ri as “Let’s Go” Joan, Jimbo as “Hag Superstar” Joan, Kahanna Montrese as MGM queen, Alexis Michelle as “Don’t Fuck With Me Fellas” Joan.
