RuPaul’s Drag Race 11 times, she finally made it on to this year’s 16th season, where she stomped her dance shoes all the way to the finale.Sapphira is proof positive that all things happen exactly when they should, because she’s immediately following up her run on Drag Race by being everywhere this summer—and we mean everywhere.Subscribe to our newsletter for your front-row seat to all things entertainment with a sprinkle of everything else queer.For starters, we all know she’s got a set of pipes on her, and she’s putting those to good use, delivering bop after bop, from the self-empowerment anthem “Enough” to the funky-fresh “Get Your Flowers.”But just because she’s dropping tracks to get you dancing doesn’t mean she’s done with opera.
Recently, she linked up with fellow classically trained RuGirls Monét X Change and Thorgy Thor to bring Soundcake to life, her years-in-the-making extravaganza that blends the operatic with the drag-tastic for a unique “aural confection.” The show premiered at NYC’s famed Lincoln Center last month to a sold-out crowd.Up next, she’s touring North America with her solo show The Cristál Ball, which kicks off in Vancouver on July 11.
Of course, fans can expect mind-blowing live vocals, top-notch drag, and a whole lot of that Sapphira Cristál magic, though it also sounds like it’ll be something of an interactive experience?
In other words, you better be ready for one unforgettable night!With The Cristál Ball just around the corner, it was the perfect time to welcome Sapphira Cristál as the latest guest of our rapid-fire Q&A series, Dishin’ It.
