Alaska unites powerhouse Drag Race singers for epic Drag: The Musical album

Hear EW's exclusive preview of Monét X Change, Bob the Drag Queen, Jujubee, Peppermint, Ginger Minj, Michelle Visage, Margaret Cho, and more on Alaska's new musical album.

We've had our season 14 Rusical; bring on the Musicalaska.

EW can exclusively reveal that recording artist, actor, author, and RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 2 champion Alaska has assembled the Avengers of drag vocalists for her new album Drag: The Musical (out May 13), a studio recording of a planned stage production that tells the story of two rival drag bars that go head-to-head for survival while struggling through financial troubles.

Joining Alaska and collaborators Tomas Costanza and Ashley Gordon on the album are Drag Race superstars Bob the Drag Queen, Peppermint, Monét X Change, Jujubee, Ginger Minj, Divina De Campo, and longtime judge Michelle Visage. Other featured performers include Fortune Feimster, Margaret Cho, Nick Adams, Max Von Essen, Jamie Torcellini, Jack Rodman, and New York City queen Lagoona Bloo.

"At its core, the musical is inspired by the family bond that drag queens have together. And just like family, we may not always get along, but we find a way to support one another and love one another," Alaska said in an exclusive statement about the project, which Costanza adds is stylistically similar to Kinky Boots, La Cage aux Folles, Rent, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show with tinges of Meatloaf and the Sex Pistols.

"I want to bring people into the world of drag," Alaska's statement continues. "It's a world that might not always be glamorous and sparkly. In fact, at times it can be slimy and disgusting. But I love it and I wouldn't trade it for anything in the world."
