A glorious show about drag queens and their performances: The Legend of Georgia McBride at Stages. StagesHouston

The play is a delight, a gay souffle with enough thought in its fluffy-wigged head to give you pause, but only for a moment. Rexy's late-in-the-play rant about the historic purpose of drag, its influence, its power, its continuous struggle, slaps us awake but appears from another play, one designed not to please so thoroughly. Of course, this is López at his pulpit, preaching at high dudgeon.
Lovable yet irresponsible, married Casey is a perennial screw-up. He's maxed out his credit cards, to the admonishment of wife Jo , and lives life without worry. Money will come, he purrs to his exasperated wife, see, I've just bought a new Elvis costume to boast interest, which is fading fast. When Jo announces she's pregnant, Casey's over the moon, not bothering about the rent that's overdue or the financial reefs the couple is inevitably heading into.
Casey survives, improves, and even enjoys the transformation. He becomes a better man when he becomes a better woman. Prodded by Tracy to develop her own drag persona, Casey soon transforms into the headliner Georgia McBride. He has not told his wife where all the new money has come from.
