From Tony Award–winning playwright Matthew López, The Legend of Georgia McBride is a funny, big-hearted comedy about identity, reinvention and finding family in unexpected places. Set in a struggling Florida Panhandle bar, the play follows Casey, a young Elvis impersonator whose life is upended when he’s asked to trade rhinestones for wigs and heels and step into the exhilarating world of drag performance. What begins as an act of desperation quickly becomes a joyful journey rich with humor, heart and unforgettable characters—an experience that’s equal parts hilarious and uplifting for audiences of all kinds.
Directed by BTG favorite Eric Hill, who has helmed beloved productions including The Elephant Man, Copenhagen, Edward Albee’s Seascape and the widely acclaimed A Chorus Line, this production bursts with high-energy musical moments and bold theatrical flair. Featuring crowd-pleasing hits like “I Will Survive,” “The Final Countdown,” “Don’t Cry Out Loud” and “Born This Way,” The Legend of Georgia McBride is a joyous celebration of self-expression and the transformative power of performance—a feel-good night at the theatre audiences won’t want to miss.
