List of Rusicals

This is a list of Rusicals, a portmanteau of RuPaul and musicals, introduced in 2014 during the sixth season of RuPaul's Drag Race, the reality show competition to find “America’s next drag superstar”.[1] Musical theater is a “touchstone of gay culture” and the show has been praised for its creativity.[2] Rusicals have become a mainstay and are featured as a main or “maxi challenge” in an episode, often in the beginning of the season, and have also been used in other American Drag Race spin-off shows to help showcase the competing drag queens’ skills of performance.[1][3][4]

A montage of six Rusicals: (clockwise) Drag Divas Live: Tribute to RuPaul, Trump: The Rusical, Shade: The Rusical, Madonna: The Unauthorized Rusical, HER:Story of The World, Bitch Perfect

According to Nick Murray, who has been a director since the series began, they try to mount “one of these big lip sync dance extravaganzas” each season although sometimes they do two.[5] Jezebel noted, Rusicals “brings out the best and the worst in absolutely everyone, as insecurities about dancing, singing, acting, lip synching, bodily strength, and fortitude come rushing to the forefront.”[6]

RuPaul has other people manage the production and rehearsal of the show within a show, but always serves as the main judge and is shown, with the other judges, as the primary audience besides the television viewers.[5] The productions are usually put together over two days with the director using the second day to nuance the performer’s entrances, and blocking so the cameras best capture the action.[5] A Rusical “embodies everything that’s great about drag – the costumes, the camp, the drama, and the theater”.[1]

In April 2016 the show released RuPaul’s Drag Race: The Rusical, an 18-track album of songs “composed and produced by frequent RPDR coach Lucian Piane, who’s also collaborated with Ru on Champion (2009), Glamazon (2011), and Born Naked (2014)”.[7] Piane has been the series’ music composer since the first season until phasing out around the time of the HER:Story Rusical.[8] Aquaria shared that even two years after her time on season ten she was pleasantly surprised to still earn over $330 a month in royalties from one song on the cast album.[9]

American RPDR Rusicals

Shade: The Rusical (RPDR season 6, episode 4)

In March, 2014 Shade: The Rusical debuted as a Broadway-style musical about “the rise and fall of a small-town drag queen in the big city” in two acts with a team of queens for each half, and Shady Lady, a character portrayed with Bettie Page realness.[1][2][10] RuPiaul said it was “the most ambitious challenge in Drag Race history”.[11] It was in the same spirit of the February 2013 dance maxi-challenge "Black Swan: Why It Gotta Be Black?" where that season’s contestants split into two teams and did a Swan Lake (1875-6) inspired ballet in two acts.[10] The producers opted to move the singing challenge to earlier in the season to explore the dynamic of the cliques in the contestants between older and younger ones, and between former Idol contestants Adore Delano, and Courtney Act.[2][10] TV Club opined that more experienced queens calibrate between their male and female personas better, and musical theater people are usually in character even off stage which is annoying; this gave the production undertones of enmity.[2] Lucian Piane produced the music.[2]

Glamazonian Airways (RPDR season 7, episode 2)

Glamazonian Airways debuted in March 2015 and featured two teams of thirteen total contestants singing a Lipsinka-inspired “pop-R&B mash-up of wonky, drag-ified” set of “sassy pre-flight safety announcements” as stewardesses on the fictional airline Glamazonian complete with a team of semi-naked men as passengers, including members of the pit crew.[1][12][13] Screen Rant said, “the writing was great, the props and costumes were fabulous, and the songs definitely got stuck in our heads after watching it”.[4] The routine’s dancing and lip syncing—including spoken-word lip-synching—and scat singing were complicated.[14][15]

In January 2018 an airplane disaster film based on Glamazonian Airways was announced, Drag Queens on a Plane, the "most glamorous disaster movie in herstory!"[16] Executive produced by RuPaul, and Fenton Bailey, Randy Barbato and Tom Campbell of World of Wonder, the parent company of RPDR, the film is set on the inaugural flight, and “Ru has packed the flight with drag’s biggest names” but the journey is beset by terrorist trolls.[16]

Eggs, Poo, and Cha Cha Heels (RPDR season 7, episode 9)

In April 2015, the seven remaining contestants were split into three teams in the “Divine Inspiration” episode in tribute to filmmaker John Waters, and his muse Divine, “the first drag superstar”.[17][18] They performed three screen tests in tribute of Divine in iconic scenes including Eggs in homage to Pink Flamingoes (1972).[7][17] The conceit is that the tests were for a new Rusical based on John Waters’ work, and were to be messy as he is “the King of Bad Taste; the Pope of Trash”.[18] Team Eggs had one of the queens as Edith Massey’s character, the Egg Lady, a “nearly-insane singing adult baby with an insatiable” egg craving being fed by Divine.[15][18] Team Poo had three queens playing versions of Divine (good conscience, evil side, and the one who eats poo), also from Pink Flamingoes, re-enacting the famous scene where she eats a dog poo.[18][19] Team Cha Cha Heels re-enacts a scene from Female Trouble (1974) where she hopes her Christmas present will be the requested shoes; disappointed, a fight ensues.[18] All three songs were included on the album RuPaul’s Drag Race: The Rusical (2016).[7]

Bitch Perfect (RPDR season 8, episode 2)

Bitch Perfect debuted March 2016, and is a parody of the a cappella-focused high school movie franchise Pitch Perfect—itself campy and fun like RPDR—featuring RuPaul’s original songs.[3][4][20] For the “especially cartoonish” script the queens were divided into two groups, Team Lady Bitches, and Team Shady Bitches, good girls verses the bad girls “lip syncing to a cappella arrangements of RuPaul’s greatest hits”.[4][20][21] The “performance gauntlet” and “elaborate stage show” demonstrate how the queens can easily be lost in a crowd; with a “significant amount” of dancing from choreographer Jamal Sims.[21][22]

HER:Story of The World (RPDR All-Stars 2, episode 3)

In September 2016 HER:Story of the World debuted with the seven contestants telling the stories of notable women of history including Eve, Catherine the Great, Diana, Princess of Wales and Annie Oakley.[1][3] RuPaul told the queens they would do “a drag review celebrating the baddest bitches in "herstory"” as the show tries for “the vitality of unscripted television and the polish of a rehearsed variety show” with composer Lucian Piane’s “theatrical” drag-focused songs that are tailored for each queen.[23] Guest-star creative directors/choreographers Ashley Evans and Antony Ginandjar (Ash and Ant) from The Squared Division, an Australian company that immigrated to the U.S., rehearsed the dancing and staging.[23] The overall production went off quite successfully as a credit to the skills of the All-Stars.[24]

Reality Stars: The Rusical (RPDR season 9, episode 5)

Reality Stars: The Rusical debuted in April 2017 focusing on reality television stars, the Kardashian family, and their show Keeping Up With The Kardashians.[3][4] Celebrities portrayed include Britney Spears, Blac Chyna, Kardashian’s momager Kris Jenner, and a grown-up North West, daughter of Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.[3][4] Director Todrick Hall, who also serves as a judge on the show, rehearsed the queens in the ”Hamilton-inspired hip-hop her-story lip sync musical extravaganza”.[25] Hamilton uses a range of musical styles allowing a lot to options for parodies.[26] The production “cycled” through the “major points of the Kardashian rise”.[27]

Drag Divas Live: Tribute to RuPaul (RPDR All-Stars Season 3, episode 2)

The first All-Stars Rusical was Drag Divas Live: Tribute to RuPaul in February 2018, a parody of VH1’s Divas Live series where a group of pop music divas honor a celebrity.[1] The nine remaining queens were assigned to portray Diana Ross, Mariah Carey, Dolly Parton, Stevie Nicks, Celine Dion, Janet Jackson, Amy Winehouse, Patti LaBelle, and Julie Andrews.[1][3][4] The production team led by composer Leland, who had first helped on the HER:Story Rusical, prepared other potential celebrities to be parodied as with the tight filming schedule they didn’t know until the day before filming which queen(s) were eliminated.[8] Todrick Hall was their choreographer.[28] As the schedule was tight they also relied on vocalist Christina Bianco to record all the parts imitating all the star singers including the ones they did not assign.[8] The contestants generally all did a good job lip-syncing covers of RuPaul’s songs, the honoree for the fictional event.[4] A standout performance was of Julie Andrews’ twerking and rapping, the team had brainstormed what was the funniest situation they could envision and BenDeLaCreme made it happen.[8]

PharmaRusical (RPDR season 10, episode 2)

In March 2018 PharmaRusical aired featuring the thirteen remaining contestants in two teams lampooning Big Pharma culture, especially prescription drug commercials.[4][1][6][29] Alyssa Edwards, season five contestant, returned as guest choreographer.[6] The production centered on the fictional Ruc-Co-Labs, “a drug company with the cure for everything”; but some of the performances were subpar.[1] The show also lacked a storyline as it “jumped back and forth between different made up prescription drugs”.[3] ScreenRant notes that although the storylines were altruistic they never landed well as the connection between the drag queen world and medicine was never clear.[4]

Cher: The Unauthorized Rusical (RPDR season 10, episode 8)

Cher: The Unauthorized Rusical debuted May 2018 with seven contestants portraying the decades-long gay icon Cher in different phases of her career and life “from ’60s Cher to Comeback Cher” who uses Auto-Tune.[1][30][31] This production was noteworthy for having the contestants act, dance, and sing live (as Cher); choreographer Todrick Hall coached them through rehearsal.[3][30][32] Chester Lockhart appeared uncredited as Sonny Bono, performing alongside Kameron Michaels during the '60s Cher segment. Singing live is challenging but Cher’s contralto vocal range is easier for the queens than higher ones.[33] Slant Magazine noted the “many layers of talent required for this week’s challenge ensure that everyone gets their weakness exposed”.[31] The performances were not well received with PopBuzz stating that the concept should not have been attempted.[34] Yahoo Music felt none of the contestants rose to the level of professional Cher imitator, and former RPDR contestant, Chad Michaels, who made a video cameo at the top of the episode.[35]

Trump: The Rusical (RPDR season 11, episode 4)

In March 2019 Trump: The Rusical aired with a parody of the musical Grease (1972) but as a vehicle to lampoon Donald Trump, and the women in his life and cabinet including Betsy DeVos, Stormy Daniels, Ivana, Ivanka, Sarah Huckabee Sanders, Melania, Omarosa, Hillary Clinton, Oprah, Rosie O'Donnell, and Kellyanne Conway.[36] It furthers RuPaul’s noting that all drag is political and builds on the “show’s now-standard seasonal call for political awareness and activism”.[36] The TV Club felt the “producers and the writers [found the] right balance between pointed political satire, campy excess, and self-aware silliness”.[36] Yanis Marshall choreographed the contestants, and overall the show had high production values including the only Rusical to have a full background set.[1][37] IN Magazine felt that although it centered on “the worst people in the world”, referring to Trump and his surrogates, ultimately it had a positive message and the portrayal of Oprah as the Teen Angel was the standout performance.[3]

Madonna: The Unauthorized Rusical (RPDR season 12, episode 7)

In April 2020 Madonna: The Unauthorized Rusical debuted with the nine contestants pre-taping their singing that they later lip-syched, all in homage to gay icon, and “Queen of Pop”, Madonna in different phases of her career like Boy Toy Madonna, Sexy Madonna, Fempire Madonna, Spoken Rap Madonna, and Enlightened Madonna.[3][38][39] After recording their singing they learned group and solo dancing with creative director and choreographer Jamal Sims who did Madonna’s Sticky & Sweet Tour, and directed RuPaul's Drag Race Live!, the Las Vegas residency of RuPaul’s Drag Race.[38][40][41] According to the show’s executive producer it was the hardest Rusical to then.[42] Sims says the final edit toned down the explicit content from Jaida Essence Hall’s section “channeling Madonna's controversial "Justify My Love" music video” from 1990, with Hall similarly dressed in only a “black lingerie set complete with stirrups”.[41][43]

Twerkin 5 to 9 (RP Secret Celebrity Drag Race, season 1, episode 2)

On May 1, 2020, the second of four celebrity-contestant Drag Race episodes aired with the maxi-challenge Rusical Twerkin 5 to 9, a parody of the 1980 movie 9 to 5, with Tami Roman as Jane Fonda, Loni Love playing Lily Tomlin, and Vanessa Williams playing Dolly Parton.[44][45] Each of the four episodes were standalone with its own celebrities earning money for charities.[46] This episodes Rusical production was again rehearsed with choreographer, creative director and “Drag Race mainstay” Jamal Sims.[44] After a medley based on the movie the show had a three-way lip sync of the 1974 Sylvester disco club classic “You Make Me Feel (Mighty Real).”[45]

Viva Drag Race (RPDR season 12, episode 12)

Viva Drag Race debuted May 2020 featuring the top five queens delivering three songs from RuPaul's Drag Race Live! the Las Vegas show.[47] The Vegas show features RPDR alumni staging a faux episode live with the audience acting as the judges, the songs generally come from the RuPaul discography.[48] It gives not only a chance for a crossover promotion but also to measure current contestants against former ones.[48] The queens rehearse with show composer, Leland, and choreographer by Jamal Sims, who directs the Vegas show.[48] They did the high energy “We Made It”, act one emotional ballad “The Mirror”, and the disco finale “Losing Is The New Winning” that each also wrote a verse to perform.[47]

“I’m in Love!” (RPDR All-Stars season 5, episode 2)

Debuting in June 2020, “I’m in Love!” had the nine remaining contestants split into three girl group teams and writing individually their “teen bop” verses about a celebrity they are in love including Chadwick Boseman, John Stamos, Daddy Yankee, Justin Timberlake, Mister Rogers, and Hannibal Lecter.[49][50][51] The judges are looking for their love interests and verses to “crank up the camp and amp up the absurd”, they will then be folded into the “I’m in Love” song written by Leland and Freddy Scott.[52][53] The team captains will choreograph each of their girl group routines.[50][54] The teams each took over a third of the stage for the show, the finished result was a “breezy pop track [that] quickly transitioned between teams and queens”.[52][54]
