Yfirlýsing frá Sasha Velour:

At House of Velour, the health and safety of our guests and crew is of the utmost importance. After several discussions with venues, local governments, our touring partners, and crew, it is with deep sadness that we must postpone all remaining dates of the Smoke & Mirrors UK & Europe Tour and return to the U.S., effective immediately. We recognize the importance of rescheduling large events in order to fight the spread of COVID-19 and we are working with our local and international partners to reschedule all dates for late 2020 or early 2021.

For guests who have purchased tickets to our remaining tour dates, we will have replacement dates to you as soon as possible. We thank you for your patience as we reschedule. Further information will be released as soon as it is available. Thank you to the amazing audiences so far. I can’t wait to come back. ‘

„Smoke & Mirrors,” Sasha Velour’s first one-queen theatre tour, is an effortless blend of drag, visual art, and magic. Velour introduces audiences to a whole new side of her artistry, through 13 dazzling and genre-busting lip-synch performances, all directed and choreographed by the queen herself. You’ll be on the edge of your seat as she explodes into rose petals, vanishes in a puff of smoke, saws herself in half, conjures a rainstorm, even transforms into a tree in front of your eyes (to name just a few). But the real magic is the way that these illusions and deceptions serve to unmask deeper truths, sparking fresh analysis of gender, fame, family, and the importance of dreaming big and living life over-the-top.

Featuring the music of Annie Lennox, Whitney Houston, Shirley Bassey, Judy Garland, Celine Dion, Sia, Nina Simone, Le Tigre and more. Costumes designed by long-time collaborator Diego Montoya.

Sasha Velour’s “Smoke & Mirrors” toured Australia and New Zealand in January 2019, had a sold-out 8-night New York City residency in March 2019, toured 23 cities in North America in the fall of 2019, and had limited sold-out engagements in Los Angeles and London, all to rave reviews.
