See it if you appreciate the artistry of Charles Busch! He got his friends together and put on a fabulous show. Celebs in the audience! A riot!!!

Don't see it if you don't laugh at old movie references, burlesque humor, LGTBetc. plots, drag performers, or love rhinestones. Lots of rhinestones.

Classic camp, Dragtastic, Hilarious, Delightful

See it if You can get a ticket to the sold out run. Charles Busch delivers a master class on high camp. This is one of his straight up funny plays.

Don't see it if You're a straight man. Or if you're offended by colorful language and girl-on-girl action.

See it if you are a fan of Charles Busch and can easily get into his sensibility. Cleopatra is one of the funniest shows in town!

Don't see it if you are uncomfortable with drag performers and blue humor. Also, if your thing isn't over-the-top acting.
