Bunny Butchers Broadway

New York’s legendary drag icon Lady Bunny returns to the stage with an all-new show! "Bunny Butchers Broadway!" is a must-see, laugh-out-loud blend of musical theatre, outrageous comedy and glamorous costumes. Bunny takes on Broadway classics like "Wicked," "Dreamgirls," "Gypsy," "Cabaret" and "Chicago." Even newer Broadway smashes like "This Is Me" from "The Greatest Showman" and "Let It Go" from Frozen. "The show," says Bunny, "contains hit songs from a whopping 20 different musicals. But it can also be enjoyed by non-Broadway fans because of crossover nature of the songs selections--though there are a few Broadway oddities from the past. "Liza With A Z" becomes a song about pronouns, and The Wiz's "No Bad News" gives Bunny's view on the debate over trans people and bathrooms. Trans rights are literally in the toilet!," she says.With her trademark dishy humor, Bunny devotes a high-octane medley to Drag Race queens, as well as a scathing drag update. "Katya has found religion. She's now a crystal Meth-odist.""While my 12 minute Drag Race interlude has nothing to do with Broadway, it's a lot more fun that Drag Race's awful Rusicals. I thought the Hollywood writers' strike was over two years ago!" "Damn, Ru, please hire better writers!"Bunny also debuts brand-new comedy songs that have wowed audiences from Sydney to London, including an ode to Ozempic, and another original tune which zaps everyone's least favorite billionaire Elon Musk. While this act doesn't dwell on politics much, Bunny does announce her 2028 presidential run, complete with a hysterically nonsensical platform.For those who don't typically connect Bunny with Broadway, the Lady says "I'll have you know that I have a lot in common with Broadway legend Patti Lupone. Neither one of us looks good dressed as women."Another thing on this bad Bunny's mind is jealousy. Despite frequent auditions over her 70 years in NYC, no Broadway roles have come her way, while Jinkx Monsoon is winning awards for Chicago and Oh, Mary. Says Bun: "Personally, I don't need awards as a motivator because I enjoy the work itself. That said, I'm only four awards from the coveted EGOT status."
