The wildly popular Broadway in Drag competition returns—this year on Pride’s Main Stage in downtown Palm Springs!

Produced by Palm Canyon Theatre and hosted by Palm Springs’ beloved drag diva, Bella da Ball, the spectacular event is the official kickoff to 2023 Greater Palm Springs Pride “Drag Now. Drag Forever!” It takes place at 7 p.m., Friday, Nov. 3.

The lavish production will bring the glamour of Broadway to Palm Canyon Drive as revelers delight in the talented lineup of contestants vying for this year’s title! Contenders will weave their own unique panache into impersonations of Broadway’s most treasured stars and starlets. A variety of competitions guide judges in determining who will earn the coveted crown and poll position in the 2023 Pride Parade! Plus, VIPs at the event have voting privileges too!

Traditionally a sold-out event at Palm Canyon Theatre, this year, Broadway in Drag will be free on the Greater Palm Springs Pride Main Stage on Palm Canyon Drive, at East Amado Road, near the Hyatt Palm Springs.

A limited number of VIP seats are available for $50. By purchasing a VIP seat, those patrons will have a guaranteed seat (versus standing-room only).

  • Exclusive voting rights—VIPs help decide the winners!
  • Complimentary La Crema, Rosé VIP-only bar
