Velma Celli’s show poster for Show Queen At The Movies’ debut York performance at City Screen Picturehouse
YORK drag diva deluxe Velma Celli will return to her former glam stomping ground at City Screen Picturehouse this summer in Show Queen At The Movies.
“I am thrilled to be heading back to City Screen on July 26, but not in The Basement as my head is too big for that space now! So, I am in Screen One! That’s right. Velma in a cinema!” says Velma, the vocal drag alter-ego of West End musical star Ian Stroughair.
“This new show, Snow Queen At The Movies, will explore all your favourite movie soundtracks from Barbra Streisand to Judy Garland. The Bodyguard to Dirty Dancing. Flashdance to Purple Rain. West Side Story to Titanic. Pretty Woman to The Shining…maybe not The Shining!”
City Screen will be one of Velma’s two “bigger” York shows this year to complement her Drag Brunch residency in the Impossible York Wonderbar and MC duties at the Yorktoberfest Beer Festival at York Racecourse. Tickets for the 9pm show are available at https://shorturl.at/j8wHC.
Tickets for Velma’s return to York Theatre Royal’s main stage on November 12 will go on sale later this year. Watch this space.
