The queens are getting political! On this week’s RuPaul’s Drag Race, Trump goes the Great White Way with Trump: The Rusical.
Put your phones on silent and get ready to be dazzled, RuPaul’s Drag Race is heading to Broadway! Okay, it’s not exactly Broadway, but on this week’s episode, the queens are starring in Trump: The Rusical. Sounds scary!
The remaining queens will have to sing and dance in a Grease-like musical set at the Trump School For Girls. Some of the Rusical challenges in the past — like Shade: The Rusical on season 6 and Cher: The Unauthorized Rusical on season 10 — have become fan favorites over the years. Will this one be as campy and beloved, or will the political subject matter turn fans off?
Who better to appear on this episode than none other than political commentator and TV anchor Rachel Maddow? For the mini challenge “Why You Maddow Tho?” the contestants have to deliver breaking news in the style of the openly-lesbian Maddow, right down to her signature cropped ‘do and glasses. Maddow herself makes an appearance to give them some words of advice and her own attempt at an “okurrrr?”
The star power doesn’t end there. On the runway, the queens will be judged by Joel McHale and none other than Tiffany “New York” Pollard, reality icon extraordinaire! With New York in the house, who knows what will go down?
