Sasha Velour: The Big Reveal Live Show
Sasha Velour
Sasha Velour serves up 90 minutes of dramatic, thought-provoking, and earth-shaking reveals in The Big Reveal Live Show! Through theatrical stage tricks and emotional revelations that catch the audience off-guard, Velour delivers surprise after surprise. A true chameleon when it comes to form and style, the show’s musical selections ranges from Stevie Wonder to Britney Spears, from Steven Sondheim to Deep Purple. Sasha’s performances take on different forms over the course of the evening—classic drag, storytelling, video experimentation, and more. Don’t miss this exciting evening, inspired in part by Velour’s recent best-selling book!
For sold out shows, a waiting list begins one-hour prior to each performance at the box office for cancellations and unclaimed tickets.
