Love a good drag show, and rooting for one to return after a hiatus? That’s the Sunday’s A Drag show, which once delighted crowds at Harry Denton’s Starlight Room starting back in 2004. Today that space is no longer, but Sunday’s A Drag is now happening at Club Fugazi, and fans couldn’t be happier, as reported by SFist.
Donna Sachet, the drag queen hostess with the mostest, revived this dormant drag brunch for just a single month last year. But now it’s back each week this summer at the North Beach club where Beach Blanket Babylon similarly dazzled audiences. Along with Sachet, several of the original Starlight Room performers will be here, including Holotta Tymes, Mercedez Munro and Cassandra Cass. Sachet told SFist the new show will feature, “special effects, dynamic lighting and bold musical numbers.” It celebrates the legacy of San Francisco’s drag scene with surprise guests for the reserved seating meal, and happens each Sunday through September.
The brunch is an a la carte Italian menu with bottomless mimosas. Tickets start at $76 for Sunday afternoon performances through September.
As for Harry Denton’s Starlight Room itself, it’s now just called Starlite. Its sunset views are spectacular, but a DJ spins where glam queens once charmed the crowd. And while the hotel that hosted the original drag show, the Sir Francis Drake Hotel in Union Square, is still kicking, it’s been rebranded as the Beacon Grand.
