(Thank god she did Marlene Dietrich instead!) This was a performance-art-meets-drag-lip-sync-show, albeit one promoted by Live Nation and starring a queen who considered impersonating gender theorist Judith Butler for Drag Race’s Snatch Game challenge. Part magic show, part “sexy self-help” – the gender-fluid drag queen’s own words – part dramatic performance, the show felt like new territory for Drag Race’s growing cottage industry, which now produces superstars ready-made for DragCon appearances and red carpet walks. Smoke & Mirrors, Velour’s first solo tour, exalted artifice and illusion, one reveal at a time. She ended the rendition by smashing a halo into devil horns, transforming Lennox’s 1992 ode to new motherhood into a dark cautionary tale of how status and attention-seeking can seduce even the most piteous. As red smoke curled onto the stage, Velour high-kicked her leg, revealing a red-sequined catsuit and platform heel from beneath the folds of a saintly white robe. The RuPaul’s Drag Race season 9 winner’s coy self-call-out got laughs, especially since it came just after Velour gooped us all with an effortless transition from angel to devil during a lip sync to Annie Lennox’s Precious. The first of a two-night stand, the Brooklyn performer’s cabaret-style set attracted a riotous audience familiar with her tickle trunk of high-concept drag and rose-petal wig reveals. Sasha Velour posed a version of this rhetorical question at the beginning of her “one-queen show” Smoke & Mirrors at Danforth Music Hall. “Don’t you hate how drag has become costume, props and reveals?” 'Sasha White really sucks you in with the action and the really hot scenes, then the emotional resolution leaves you feeling very satisfied.SASHA VELOUR’S SMOKE & MIRRORS at the Danforth Music Hall on Monday, November 18.
