Two-time Drag Race winner Jinkx Monsoon has extended her run as Matron ‘Mama’ Morton in Chicago on Broadway. The star will appear in the role for just 14 more performances, from 16 to 26 March at the Ambassador Theatre in New York City.
Her time in Chicago has been met with acclaim from both critics and audiences alike, with all of Jinkx’s shows seeing standing-room only crowds.
Discussing her extended run, Jinkx said: “The kids are saying ‘she ate,’ so I figured, I might as well have seconds. “In all seriousness, playing for standing room only crowds throughout my run as Mama has got my mind blown and my heart full.
Audiences from all over the world have generously brought so much joy to this show. “The Chicago cast has become my family, and I’ve made friends for life.
