Peaches Christ Productions wants you to grab your ticket NOW to the Los Angeles Premiere of "RETURN TO GREY GARDENS" an original, drag driven musical stage-show starring season 5 winner of "RuPaul's Drag Race," Jinkx Monsoon as Lil' Jinkxy and Peaches Christ as Big Peachy with special guest stars Thomas Dekker (All About Evil and Kaboom) as Jerry and L.A. drag monster / superstar Squeaky Blonde as herself. Plan to submit to the madness at L.A.'s historic and gorgeous Wilshire Ebell Theatre (Hancock Park, near Koreatown) on April 5th, 2014 with only ONE show at 8:00 p.m.
I had a chance to chat with Peaches Christ about her show, Jinkx and More!
MK: This is your 3rd City (After SF and Seattle) staging "Return to Grey Gardens", What makes this show unique? WiIl you take it other cities?
PEACHES: I think this show is unique for a few reasons and one of the biggest is that Jinkx truly dazzles as Little Jinkxy, both homaging and celebrating our real-life inspiration Little Edie. It's also a show that's not limited to hilarious parody but actually allows for some real drama and darkness. It was a real challenge for me to come up with a concept that would work within our created drag world and I'm proud of how it all turned out. And finally it's an easier show to travel with than most because the necessary cast to take it on the road is myself and Jinkx and so it's not as large an undertaking as some of our more ambitious shows which can feature large casts and lots of set changes. I'd really love to continue bringing this to more cities if we can.
MK: What do like about working with Jinkx? Best and Worst qualities?
PEACHES: I think that I enjoy Jinkx most because she's so super sweet as well as extraordinarily talented. It's a great combination! I really think she's brilliant and watching her perform is really inspiring. I don't think I'd be able to define a "worst quality" if I'm being completely honest. I suppose I could say that it's hard to keep up with her energy and spunk? She's unstoppable.
MK: Was seeing Jinkx playing Little Edie on RDR inspiration for this show or were you already planning this parody?
PEACHES: We literally planned this show on the afternoon that the "Snatch Game" aired so I'd only seen her as Little Edie in the commercials leading up to the episode. I knew she loved Little Edie and I knew she looked great but when I saw the episode and knew she and I were going to do the event together I was even more excited.
MK: You (as Joshua Grannel) directed 2010's 'All about Evil', are there any more films coming?
PEACHES: I'm writing a new movie now that I'm really excited about and I hope it comes together.
