“Chicago was one of the reasons I started doing drag" Jinkx Monsoon on making her Broadway debut

[@angelacollins7931]

Jinkx’s laugh plays on a loop in my head 😂 she’s perfect for this role!

[@TheQueerReview]

Yes, we can't wait to see Jinkx in action!

[@amyfrancisconi9386]

My daughter and I are going to see this on Saturday (Jan 21st) and I'm SO FRICKIN EXCITED!! I've loved and rooted for Jinkx since her season of RuPaul's Drag Race. I can't wait to see and hear her embody Matron Mama Morton on Broadway! You're a star, baby!

[@TheQueerReview]

amazing! Hope you both have a fantastic time. You've got good taste in drag performers! :)

[@andrewschreiber112]

I'm so happy for all the success Jinkx is having. She's a truly gifted performer, and she'll do GREAT as Mama M! I only wish I could get to NYC to see it!

[@Demarreay]

I love she gave peppermint her credit

[@tmcconnell4484]

So excited for the Queen of Queens! Break a leg Jinx your amazing!

[@lesliedomler3901]

She's going to crush this role! 😍

[@quidditchmum]

She is perfection!!! So talented! She deserves every single good thing that comes her way.

[@hiyahandsome]

Can't wait to see my favorite Queen in my all time favorite Broadway show! Love you Jinkx!!!

[@brad1038]

I’m so happy for our little jinxy poo. She’s really the sweetest most wonderful person. Oh how I wish I could be her friend 😆

[@Noor_Najeeb]

LOVE HER. Congrats Jinxi! Dream come true for you!! U always wanted to do broadway 🎉

[@Aquarian2000]

Jinkx is very genuine and likable...and quite knowledgeable.

[@xKimxMeganxMerylx]

So happy for and proud of Jinkx. Thank you so much for sharing this _lovely_ interview with us! 😊👏

[@markcooke729]

I'd LOVE to see Jinkx as Mama Morton! My partner and I were privileged to see her twice in the space of a month in Lancaster UK & it was a fabulous show! We both met her and Major Scales which was a huge treat, AND had our pictures taken with them both, cheek kisses allowed too! Come back soon Jinkx! XXXXX

[@TheQueerReview]

How fabulous, what wonderful memories & you have the photos to treasure too! :)

[@70schild420]

There is no place like Chicago!my fave

[@jerryburg2333]

So happy for you Jinkx! You’re a great casting choice for this role!

[@chunk1179]

this color on jinx is stunning

[@rosiecostello8971]

God I love her so much! Thank you, thank you, thank you for this interview🙏

[@mlcs179]

Looking gorgeous Jinx your makeup up is awesome.

[@giggles7179]

Wait - she's playing MATRON MAMA MORTON?!? Holy $#!t! I don't think a queen's ever gotten higher in the Chicago cast list than Mary Sunshine! Well, there IS Richard Gere in the film, of course, but I digress....This really is a stunning development.

[@slicunit]

Comments like this make me smile. The children need more literature like yours. 💗

[@michaelmccaslin6291]

I’ve always wanted to play Mama Rose but I think Jinkx would be perfect to play Mama Rose!

[@jeanalzaidi908]

I'm so happy for jinkx,I know that it's always been her dream to make it on broadway congrats jerick we love you

[@normalizenatalie]

we're coming to opening night and i can't wait!

[@TheQueerReview]

Amazing!! Enjoy & let us know how it was :)

[@jjbb4546]

So sweet, lovely and patient.

[@RonnieStewartJr]

Jinkx, you’re incredible. I resonated so much with what you said.

[@haywardgarner4850]

I love this! Thank you Jinkx for hammering against the idea that you have to identify a certain way to play a certain character. Powerful!

[@garydiamond8124]

Jinx was meant for the stage on broadway..all we need now is a new film musical of La Cage with jinx in it

[@kellyhamergia]

She will get a Tony!😍😍😍

[@saucytruffle4738]

Jinkx: says something very poignant and insightful “hahAAAHHAHAHAHAHAHAAA” Nothing but respect for MY president

[@lindashapanka6229]

In very early theater, men played all the roles. The humor in Shakespeare In Love is based on this. Jinkx is just being historically/hertorically correct. Would love to see her.

[@christianlowery3698]

❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@porkchopjp]

so well deserved!

[@natalieJe10]

I hate the time their in Chicago! Ugh Phantom is leaving Broadway and I spent all my "extra" money getting a ticket (with a discount lol). I hope and honestly expect they will be FANTASTIC in Chicago! That voice is a bombshell ♥️♥️

[@Marcel_Audubon]

Just realized that it's tomorrow! Break a leg!

[@Thedrcatwoman]

Great Interview!

[@TheQueerReview]

Thanks for watching! So glad you enjoyed it.

[@nikohernandez1651]

I can’t wait to see how **** mother is in this interview💚

[@amylou22snowhite]

I have my tickets!

[@TheQueerReview]

Amazing! Hope you have a blast.

[@hoorayitsjackie6166]

I’d be willing to bet that most folks watching the show wouldn’t know for sure that Jinkx is a drag Queen unless they were told before hand.

[@Priasbcbeist]

Peppermint was on Broadway?

[@normalizenatalie]

yes she originated a role in a broadway play based on the go-gos that now gets performed in like high schools and stuff, she said it was a really queer play in its contents

[@michaelmccaslin6291]

I thought she was nominated for a Tony.

[@broadwaywes]

There’s literally a Drag character in the show already….

[@hanssolos3699]

ginger spice's mom is here yall

[@wireframe01]

The hair color…. And I’m sure Jinx could do the voice, but Lois from Family guy 😮

[@edreid7872]

Stay away from the edibles Jinkx..😅

[@mywalterego9248]

"Drag Herstory" except for the fact that the big twist at the end of Chicago is that Mary Sunshine is actually a man. lol

[@TheQueerReview]

Oh yes of course, but this is the first time a drag artist has played the role of Mama Morton in Chicago on Broadway in the 26 years of this current production, so that's where the "herstory" comes in :)

[@mikegarcia597]

Tbh she could of been Roxy too

[@FunInTheSun8]

I've seen Chicago the musical 3 times, and if I am being completely honest; it's such a horrible musical on stage. There's no set, there aren't great costumes, minimal props, and having the orchestra on the stage is so damn distracting. I really wish it was "umphed up" more. But, break a leg Jinkx. You'll be great.

[@Marcel_Audubon]

does she have some kinda bustle on the back of her head??

[@tlw1950]

He’s lost some weight. It’s very becoming.
