Get ready for a spectacular Broadway debut as Bob The Drag Queen, the drag superstar, steps into the spotlight!
On January 27th, Bob made her Broadway entrance with a bang, performing an original song at the iconic Al Hirschfeld Theatre. Watch the video above to witness this historic moment and catch a glimpse of her unique talent.
But here's where it gets interesting... Bob, the non-binary comic and actor, is taking on the role of Harold Zidler in Moulin Rouge! The Musical. This eight-week limited engagement, which runs through March 22nd, sees Bob succeed Robert Petkoff in the role.
Bob's journey to Broadway is an inspiring one. As Caldwell Tidicue, Bob won the title of America's Next Drag Superstar on RuPaul's Drag Race, season eight. Since then, she's been making waves in the entertainment industry, co-hosting HBO's We're Here and winning prestigious awards like the Peabody Award and GLAAD Media Award. Her podcast, Sibling Rivalry, with fellow Drag Race star Monét X Change, has also been a huge success, winning multiple accolades. Bob's talents extend beyond drag and comedy; she's also an author with a New York Times bestseller, Harriet Tubman: Live In Concert, under her belt.
In Moulin Rouge!, Bob joins an incredible cast, including Christian Douglas as Christian, Meg Donnelly as Satine, and André Ward as Toulouse-Lautrec. The musical, based on the 2001 film, opened on Broadway in 2019 and has since been nominated for and won numerous Tony Awards, solidifying its place as a must-see production.
The show's creative team is just as impressive, with director Alex Timbers, book writer John Logan, and choreographer Sonya Tayeh leading the way. The score features modern pop anthems like "Firework" by Katy Perry and "Your Song" by Elton John, adding a contemporary twist to the classic story.
And this is the part most people miss... Moulin Rouge! is not just about the music and the glitz. It's a tragic love story set in Paris' famous Moulin Rouge, following the lives of performer Satine and composer Christian.
