In the show, Blanche, Dorothy, Rose, and Sophia are getting ready for the annual Shady Pines Retirement Home Gay Pride Talent Show when down-on-his-luck star Ricky Martin moves in next door. His wild all-night salsa sessions distract the ladies from getting their much-needed rehearsal time. What ensues is a hilarious feud that can only end with one act crowned as the most talented "queen(s)" of Shady Pines.
