not to be dramatic but jinkx monsoon performing a broadway number on national television brought me to tears

[@craigmack5606]

Not dramatic at all 🙏🏼 I don’t even know her yet I’m so proud of who she’s become. To see Jinkx’s growth from S5 to now, is an emotional experience.

[@stevenellis1735]

You and me both! It was one of the great moments in gay herstory! My triple goosebumps are still tingling with utter joy and delight! Thank you times a million Jinkxie ❤️❤️❤️

Singing like THAT in a corset is just wild. I’m almost sure she had a broadway level vocal coach before Chicago, she’s singing so technically fantastic

[@jessversus]

THIS. My mind is blown.

[@alextirrellRI]

She didn't have time. She went right from her holiday tour with Dela into a short rehearsal process for Chicago. She just did a post-Chicago life update on her podcast "Hey Jinkx" where she only said she checked in with a 'voice doctor' during the run to make sure she wasn't hurting herself.

[@Nolshae]

she was classically trained yea!

Such a talented queen. They rlly weren't kidding when they crowned Jinkx the next Drag SUPERSTAR twice

[@TotalmenteEng]

She was not crowned the next drag super star twice, she was crowned QUEEN OF ALL QUEENS the second time.

[@miguelferreira4204]

She’s not just the Drag Superstar, she’s a stage Superstar no matter what persona she’s channeling

[@BriWolf112]

Disney should have cast Monsoon as Ursula, or at least an actual drag queen given that's what she was based off of. Miss has got the pipes, the sass, and the laugh to really hit all the notes Ursula needs

[@donWWE31108]

So true

[@salembn1176]

One of my biggest problems with the live action is that tbe should've casted a drag queen. Ursula deserved the proper representation

[@TheReySkywalker]

I’m not sure what Chicago’s eligibility at the Tony’s this year is, but I hope they give Jinkx an opportunity to perform this at the ceremony. She literally broke Broadway records this year

This feels like Jinkx saying thanks to RPDR fans. RPDR really gave her the platform to reach her dreams. What a joy it is to see Jinkx finally living her dreams (as she deserves!). Can't wait to see her in Doctor Who!

[@donWWE31108]

She’s such a legend

[@miguelferreira4204]

Same here. I was so thrilled to hear she was going to be in Doctor Who, one of my favourite to shows, and as the antagonist, no less. It’s going to be epic

@@hued2542 Her first take was described as “amazing”; it was only the second recording (done presumably to give the editors options) that was an issue, with Jinkx not being happy with it, and as a professional, she requested a start over, and the resulting final take was described as “perfect”. So if you were attempting a read, I don’t think you achieved what you thought you did

Saw her on her opening night. She was hilarious and amazing. I don’t she expected how insane the audience was about to go. She kept laughing and shooing them down because the entire crowd was on their feet cheering mid show just because the performance was THAT good. People stood up multiple times applauding (in a super respectful way). It was awesome to get to see this again and have the full song documented somewhere.
