The Legend of Georgia McBride

Casey is young and broke, his landlord’s knocking at the door, and he’s just found out his wife is going to have a baby. Then, to make matters even more desperate, he is fired from his impersonating gig in a run-down, small-town Florida dive bar.

When bar owner Eddie brings in a struggling drag show, led by Miss Tracy Mills, to replace him, Casey finds that he has a lot to learn about show business – and himself. After reluctantly filling in as Edith Piaf for one of the girls, he trades his sequined jumpsuit for a sequined dress. Casey evolves his new act into a drag persona that is uniquely his, finally discovering success.

This heartwarming tale explores the transformation that happens when individuality is encouraged and embraced. This music-filled, fierce, fabulous showbiz comedy celebrates finding your voice and singing your own song.
