Solo Musical Memoirs of a Drag Queen to Have Off-Broadway Premiere

Following a successful San Antonio run, Memoirs of a Drag Queen, a solo musical by composer and playwright Bernard J. Taylor and directed by Robby Vance, will make its New York debut with an off-Broadway engagement at the Sargent Theatre at the American Theatre of Actors.

Memoirs of a Drag Queen will run April 29-May 24, with opening night set for May 1.

The production stars San Antonio-based performer Nicolas Moncayo, appearing under his drag persona Amory Legato, in his New York theatrical debut.

Structured as a confessional memoir and told through story, song, and direct address to the audience, Memoirs of a Drag Queen traces a performer’s journey from a shy, misunderstood childhood to self-possession and creative freedom, using music and drag as both armor and self-expression.

The production features sets by Bernard J. Taylor and costumes by Amory Legato and award-winning drag designer Hunsen Abequeer.
