What People Are Saying
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“With lip-syncing, dancing, heartfelt and humorous anecdotes and a super-size serving of fun, the drag idol brings a touch of Vegas to the West End. It’s not hard to see why she has become one of the most famous and adored queens of her time. The stage is her home and it’s a joy to be welcomed into it.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Perhaps not the show many were expecting, Alyssa: Memoirs of a Queen is a fabulously put together show full of heart and hilarity. While she may claim to be a diva, Alyssa showed a side of herself that was relatable and created a brilliant show that is sure to appeal to fans of Drag Race and theatre alike.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Tongue pops, diva strops, sparkle, glamour and performances clearly proving that, as she told us, she’s been turning those back rolls into bank rolls since she burst onto the international drag scene. And may her reign long continue! I’d give the show 5 stars, but this is Alyssa Edwards hunty. She is the only star needed.”
⭐⭐⭐⭐
“Mixing in heartfelt and truly moving personal stories with backstage gossip and light secrets shared with her fellow drag queens, Alyssa delivers a beautifully balanced platter that is every part as delicious as the ‘lovely fifth alternate’ herself!”
