Varla Jean Merman returns to Bomhard Theater for another great big dollop of campy, kitchy, crazy hilarity. When we tell you this show is a drag, we don’t mean it’s dull. If you saw Varla Jean here two seasons ago, you won’t want to miss out. And if you missed that incredible performance, you CAN’T miss out again! Varla Jean looks like Rita Hayworth, sings like Julie Andrews and vamps like Mae West. To put it simply, he’s quite a guy.

Louisville-based performance artiste and drag impresario DEMENTIA will host the The Very Worst of Varla Jean Merman post-show party at the 21c Museum Hotel following Varla’s performance in Bomhard Theater. There will be light hors d’oeuvres, a cash bar, DJ music and spectacle as only DEMENTIA and her cast of characters can provide.
