Ginger Minj discusses her journey from theatre kid to drag legend and Broadway star, sharing insights on her experiences and performances.

Theatre Kid to Drag Legend to Broadway Star? That’s the plan. Fresh off her victory on RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars, Ginger Minj is joining the Sentimental Men to talk about everything it took to get herself to this point and how Defying Gravity became a personal anthem along the way. And you know we had to ask her about that iconic lip sync in front of Ariana and Cynthia. Plus, the boys get Sentimental about Jesus Christ Superstar at the Hollywood Bowl, Adam Lambert in that Ten Commandments musical and Wicked Brazil’s new herstory-making Madame Morrible.
