📟 Charge your Razr, burn that mix CD, and get ready for a totally hot, hilariously chaotic, nostalgia-packed drag spectacular that’ll have Pride partying like it’s 1999.

🌈 That’s right - Drag Race icons Jackie Cox & Jan are crashing Beechman Pride like it’s Y2K all over again!

After one chaotic “Gaycation” and a near-criminal “Joyride”, these all-live-singing gal pals are rewinding to the era of butterfly clips, boy bands, Britney, Backstreet, and full-on technological panic with JACKIE & JAN’S Y2J!

✨ Think TRL fantasy, rhinestone overload, low-rise jeans, dial-up disasters, and a pop-powered mission to save civilization before the Y2K bug finally finishes what it started.

When Danny Quadrino and Jenna Bainbridge joined Wicked as Boq and Nessarose, it was friendship at first S**z.

Since that first performance together, they have been scheming about what other shows they can do together…so they can continue working together…Forever. 🤣

Join these Broadway besties as they bring their undeniable chemistry, big voices, and shared one brain cell to the stage for a night of stories, songs, and theatrical magic.

🤩 Danny Quadrino has been seen on Broadway in The Who’s Tommy, Newsies, and the National Tour of Waitress.

🤩 After her Broadway debut in Suffs, Jenna Bainbridge made history in 2025 when she became the first authentically disabled person to play Nessarose on Broadway. She also runs the non-profit ConsultAbility, which helps theatre companies become more accessible for artists, staff, and audiences with disabilities.

On Sunday, June 21st, it’s the holy trinity of drag brunch excuses:

🎭If you didn’t know, Broadway’s Todd Buonopane (Spelling Bee, Cinderella, 30 Rock) is GAAAAAY.

And he and his buddy, Broadway’s Michael Buchanan (Book or Mormon, Cry-Baby) are bringing the long-awaited sequel to their show, Songs That Made Us Gay, to the Beechman next week. Yes, it’s called MORE Songs That Made Us Gay.

Missed the first show - fear not. We asked Todd some questions

🧐 Beechman: If people missed the first show…can you catch them up to speed for this sequel?
🌈 Todd: As we say in the show, we’re performing in a gay basement, there’s no plot! But we do try to catch you up on what you might have missed the first time. We promise it’s not hard to follow. And if you are unsure of a song in one of our many medleys, I’m sure the homo sitting next to you will be happy to fill you in!

🧐 Beechman: If you could only choose ONE song that made you gay, what would it be and why?
🌈 Todd: “The Witch’s Rap” from INTO THE WOODS! C’mon!!! Gorgeous Bernadette Peters being hilarious, ugly AND a little scary. If you weren’t gay before, you are now!

🧐 Beechman: What can people expect from the show?
🌈 Todd: Great singing, fabulous dancing, A+ gay humor and a whole lotta q***r joy!

Don’t miss this them at The Beechman!

Get ready to lie, scheme, sing, and absolutely devour, because TRAITORZ: The Unauthorized Musical Parody is returning to the Laurie Beechman Theatre and trust us… you are not emotionally prepared.

📺🎭 Inspired by the hit reality competition you love to binge, this campy, over-the-top musical parody asks the ultimate question: Who’s faithful? Who’s a traitor? And who just broke into a show-stopping 11 o’clock number?

🎩🌈 Daniel Barrett is LIZA
Maybe this time she’ll be lucky.

Sure, he may die for your sins. But he will absolutely vote you out first.

Oops!… she betrayed again.

That’s right - audience members hop on stage to play the game LIVE. Choose wisely. Or don’t.

🔐🎶 Alliances will crumble. Secrets will spill. And someone will absolutely sing their way to betrayal.

On December 14, 2025, Patti LuPone attended a performance of Drew Droege’s play, Messy White G**s.

It was nearly ruined thanks to the outbursts of a raving, drunken lunatic.

After the show, LuPone eviscerated this person and told them to “never go back to the theater again”.

The New York Post ran the headline “LuPone Blasts Theater Idiot”.

📰 “Brash broads return in Douglas Carter Beane’s tribute to early 20th Century humorist Dorothy Parker. …an uproarious theatrical anthology of works and texts of Parker, who became renowned for her sharp wit as one of the most prominent writers of the 1920s through to the mid-century.” – Karu Daniels, The Daily News

If you’ve been hearing the buzz and reading the rave reviews, then get your tix to this hilarious, special, and truly marvelous night of wit and sophistication!

🥂 Dorothy Parker was the razor-sharp wit of the Roaring Twenties, a cocktail-sipping, literary firecracker who dazzled the pages of Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, Vogue, Life, and The Saturday Evening Post. Whether she was penning scathing reviews, unforgettable one-liners, or melancholic poetry, Parker’s unapologetic brilliance and biting humor made her a legend.

Finding Dorothy Parker is a sparkling r***e and whirlwind tour of Parker’s hilarious and wise material, performed by some of the funniest women on Broadway. It’s an intoxicating mix of biting social commentary and campy fabulousness that continues to sparkle like a glass of champagne.

📰 “For fans, the show is a reminder of Parker’s keen observations of society and its ills, as well as her anti-fascist stance. But Beane’s show does more — it underscores why wit and a laser-like awareness of artifice, money and class is needed now more than ever.” – Fern Siegel, Travel Arts Journal

✨ Lillias White: Live at The Beechman ✨

“There’s a kind of brilliance around her ability to create an amalgam of musical storytelling and stand-up comedy.  This is why people go to a Lillias White show, why they love her and follow her any and everywhere.”

“Joy awaits, and, in the case of the Lillias White Show, laughter, levity, and life.” - Thanks for the kind words for

🥂✨ Sunday Brunch…but on a Thursday night ✨🥂

From the creators of “Stuck aka The Cult Song” comes a brand new musical you won’t stop thinking about…

SUNDAY BRUNCH 🍳💥

Meet Becca: recent grad, chronic overthinker, and one mimosa away from a full-blown life crisis. Between her loving-but-pushy parents, a boyfriend who may or may not be 🚩, his suspiciously close “friend,” and a waitress who MIGHT be in a cult… she’s got one big decision to make:

💍 get married
📚 go to grad school
😵‍💫 or spiral spectacularly in public.

With a killer score inspired by Sondheim, Larson, and messy 2000s emo angst, featuring viral favorites like “Former Gifted Kids,” “Best Friend,” and of course “Stuck aka The Cult Song” - this is one boozy brunch you’ll never forget.
