"oh my sweet gerkins!"
Jinkx Monsoon and Ben DeLaCreme revamp Hocus Pocus
Thank Peaches Christ for bringing these two Seattle queens together for the smartest idea ever. Tickets are being sold here (on Peaches Christ's Website) to a live performance of Disney's Hocus Pocus. By the way am I the only person who thinks Peaches and DeLa should hit the road as 'Peaches and Creme'?If you're not familiar, Hocus Pocus is a 1993 Disney Movie about three witches who return from a century long slumber to steal the youth from little children in Salem, Massachusetts. Originally starring Bette Midler, Kathy Najimy, and Sarah Jessica Parker, I'm excited to see how these lively maidens are brought to live by this trio of hilarious performers.
Ben DeLaCreme made waves with her eliminated on RuPaul's Drag Race Season 6, placing fourth when many had her as the top contender for the crown. I'm glad to see her teaming up with Jinkx Monsoon, season 5's winner, to bring one of my favorite childhood movies to life.
DeLaCreme will be playing Kathy Najimy's part, Jinkx as Sarah Jessica Parker, and Peaches Christ as the immutable Bette Midler. Which makes sense because I don't think Peaches has a mute button either.
Now all we need is a reason to get DeLa back into that Leopard outfit she wore for Shade! The Rusical!
Here's a short clip from Hocus Pocus to get you all buying tickets to Peaches show. Lord knows if I was in San Francisco, I would be there! This WILL be the best scene of the whole play, I assure you.
