Fresh from performances at Lincoln Center and the HOWL Festival in NYC (Oct. 2011), Thrillpeddlers original VICE PALACE cast returns to San Francisco with their smash hit revival, VICE PALACE: The Final Cockettes Musical. This musical mind trip imagines Edgar Allan Poe's "The Masque from the Red Death" as viewed through the lens of Frederico Fellini, and topped off with truly outrageous costumes, wigs and spectacular gender-bending drag ensemble performances. VICE PALACE follows Divina (played by drag-king star, Leigh Crow), an eccentric socialite who spares no expense to keep her jet-set party guests entertained, while the villagers just beyond the walls of her lavish estate are ravaged by the plague. Each performance must top the next in this bizarre race to escape the one uninvited party guest death! - and look fabulous as they do it.
Originally produced as a 'Nocturnal Dream Show' and performed at midnight in the old Palace Theatre in North Beach on Halloween 1972, Vice palace starred the inimitable Divine and cult star Mink Stole (best known as stars of director John Waters' films), VICE PALACE was written by Martin Worman & Scrumbly Koldewyn, original members from the pioneering, gender-bending performance troupe, The Cockettes. Russell Blackwood, founding member and visionary behind Thrillpeddlers and master from the macabre, directs a cast of San Francisco's most extravagant underground drag performers and divas. VICE PALACE was the fabled and fabulous Cockettes' final stage presentation.
The Cockettes were a gender-bending theatrical troupe who not only originated these outrageous shows, but also exerted a profound influence on the culture of our times, from the phenomenon of midnight movies, to glitter rock stars and their outrageous fashions.
