Christopher Peterson’s EYECONS Live
Production info:
Company: Guys in Disguise: Classic
Directed by: Christopher Peterson
Written by: Christopher Peterson
Starring: Christopher Peterson
Christopher Peterson, drag performer du jour, runs a marathon of impressions—Marilyn Monroe to Tina Turner to Lady Gaga to Liza Minnelli to far, far more—and sequined costume changes with the careful hand of a stage veteran: He changes behind a large wardrobe, but his head's still peeks out nd he chats us up during what otherwise might be sags in the show, instead filled with hilarious Queen-y one liners, Peterson picking on some audience members, and generally sassing the crowd wholesale. Sure, some of these impressions are played more for comedy than accuracy, but Peterson's got an amazingly versatile set of pipes (no lip-synching here Peterson sings it all with poise and pitch), and has the uncanny the ability to infuse each personality with its own undeniable wit.
