Snap Honey

What I liked

The dancing boys were really good. They didn’t add anything to the show, but they were good.

What I didn't like

There are massive logistical issues. Audience shills were seated onstage in seats which blocked the audience’s view. There were so many people backstage that – due to the way the show was lit – they created a massively distracting shadow puppet theater in the background.

And overall, there are way too many performers and way too many things happening in the show – making the story unfocused and meaning too much time was spent on unnecessary storylines while the parts that should be fleshed out were not. The majority of people onstage were not prepared and it was obvious. And while Vageena Honey may have been a female impersonator, she was not a drag queen in appearance or behavior.

My overall impression

This show was a mess from beginning to end. Drag Queens are generally larger than life, but Vageena Honey – who was fed her lines through an earpiece – wore an unstyled wig and basic gown and barely gave anything I would consider to be a drag performance. The show was far too long, had far too many people in it who mostly seemed unprepared, included a talk show plot and history with the host that were wholly unneeded, and the story was a jumble of cliches and tropes.
