Location: Queens Theatre, Flushing Meadows Corona Park
Need a cure for the winter blues? Queens Theatre is importing a massive hit from the UK. The Dazzling Diamonds is a comedy drag variety show that has been selling out across Europe. It is high camp, high energy, and packed with spectacular costumes and live vocals.
Why Watch?
Queens has a rich drag history (Jackson Heights is a hub), but this brings a West End-style production value to the borough. The show features tributes to icons like Cher, Tina Turner, and Dolly Parton, performed by three incredibly talented artists. It is “glamour with a wink.”
The theater itself is located right under the iconic Unisphere, making for a dramatic arrival. Combine the show with a walk through the park or a visit to the Queens Museum next door.
