Berkeley-born global drag icon, visual artist, and author Sasha Velour (HBO’s We’re Here, RuPaul’s Drag Race) brings The Big Reveal Live Show! to Berkeley Rep’s Roda Theatre for a limited engagement after sold-out shows across the US and Europe.
Known for her emotional, thoughtful, and crowd-shaking reveals, The Big Reveal Live Show! takes things to a whole new level as Velour goes further than she ever has before with masterful intricacy. Theatrical at its core, the show takes on many forms over the course of 90 minutes: high concept lip-sync performances, artful oration, childhood film footage, video art, personal storytelling, and more. The Big Reveal Live Show! shows this superstar at her most playful and hilarious, while also taking you deeper into the rich history of drag. Incorporating whip-smart comedic timing, astonishing stage design, and a commanding theatrical presence, she deploys drag as a way to disarm audiences and hit them with emotional truths. The Big Reveal Live Show! features a diverse soundtrack ranging from Stevie Wonder to Britney Spears, Stephen Sondheim to Deep Purple.
