It has been announced that the West End premiere of The Legend of Georgia McBride, a comedy about self-discovery and the courage to embrace the unexpected, will take place next year.
Written by Tony and Olivier Award-winning playwright Matthew López (The Inheritance), and directed by Tony Award-nominee Stevie Walker-Webb (Ain’t No Mo’), it has also been announced that global drag superstar Monét X Change plays Tracy with further casting to be announced.
Meet Casey, a struggling Elvis impersonator performing at a small-town American bar. When his act is replaced by a drag show, his world is turned upside down. Under the guidance of legendary drag queen Miss Tracy Mills (Monét X Change), Casey transforms into the dazzling Georgia McBride, discovering a confidence that challenges everything he thought he knew about himself.
Matthew López said “I’m delighted to return to the West End next year and share this play with London audiences. I’m especially excited to be working with Monét and Stevie, whose combined talents could power a midsize city.”
Monét X Change said “Eeek! I’m so unbelievably excited to make my West End debut in The Legend of Georgia McBride. When I first sat down for the table read, I manifested this moment and it’s now my reality. It’s my absolute honor and pleasure to bring Miss Tracy Mills to life as we both know how to find a diamond in the rough and make it sparkle, darling. I did it for Bob the Drag Queen and I’ll do it for Georgia!”
The creative team also includes: Fly Davis (Designer), Jim Carnahan (Casting Director). Further creatives to be announced.
