Having a ‘Ball’
Photography by Jacob Ritts Sapphira Cristál shifts into superstar mode with new album and first tour RICH LOPEZ | Staff writer rich@dallasvoice.com Just weeks ago, fans were watching Sapphira Cristál’s fate on Season 16 of RuPaul’s Drag Race.
After a close race, the Houston-area native doubled down on her solo journey with a new tour announcement, to be followed by a new album.
And since July, she has headlined her Cristál Ball Tour, singing, performing and chatting with fans and audiences. “The Cristál Ball Tour is a magical musical comedy extravaganza!” Sapphira said in the tour’s announcement. “It’s a funny, interactive, audience-driven show about my life, complete with songs off my upcoming album and humorous anecdotes of things I’ve experienced. “I sing, perform, dance and give you a guided glimpse into the crystal ball that is Sapphira Cristál!” Fierce drag, personal stories and let’s not forget her secret weapon of being a classically-trained opera singer.
Expect Sapphira to bring it all to her show. And she’s ready. The Cristál Ball Tour stops in Dallas on Friday, Aug. 2, at the House of Blues.
