Meet Dynasty Diva: Dolly Levi
In anticipation of the premiere edition of Divas of Dynasty, our first all-drag-revue at Dynasty Typewriter, we're catching up with some of the performers who will be gracing the stage.
Dolly Levi is a actor, dancer, choreographer and member of the Dreamgirls Revue.
When were you first introduced to drag and why did it make an impact?
D: WAAAAAAAY back in the Shakespearian times when I learned that DRAG meant Dressed Resembling A Girl.
Which of your talents are you most proud of and why?
D: It's not a matter what talents I'm most proud of, it's the fact that I'm proud that I can do what I do for as long as I've been doing it and the people who come to see it enjoy it.
What do you like to do when you're NOT in drag?
D: Research, Im always researcing for new ways to tell a story.
What’s your go-to lip-sync song, and why?
D: All That Jazz, I just wanna fucking dance. And Holding Out For A Hero. It's all about doing things that I love, telling a story you can relate to and energizing an audience, making them feel good. These songs do all of that.
If you could have an all-queen dream dinner party, who’d be invited?
D: The pioneers of our time: Charles Pierce, Quentin Crisp, Christine Jorgensen, and Danny La Rue.
Divas of Dynasty kicks off on May 25th with a star-studded cornucopia of entertainers. Directed & hosted by Tye Blue, this unique theatrical experience stars Pandora Boxx, as well as master illusionist Vancie Vega, beloved So Cal favorites Dolly Levi and Borgia Bloom. Get more info here.
