Witches, drag lovers, and theater kids unite because Ginger Minj is casting her most ambitious spell yet. The RuPaul’s Drag Race icon and Hocus Pocus 2 scene-stealer has announced the return of her spellbinding stage production Hokus Pokus Live!, and this time, she’s bringing a cauldron full of drag royalty along for the ride.
This all-new theatrical experience will tour 22 U.S. cities from Sept. 4 to Oct. 6, co-starring Drag Race darlings Jujubee and Sapphira Cristál, along with Dragula champion Landon Cider.
A Wickedly Starry Lineup
Ginger Minj, known affectionately as “The Glamour Toad”, isn’t just performing; she wrote, directed, and co-produced Hokus Pokus Live! through her Fruit Wine Productions. This marks the show’s third iteration, but don’t expect a rehash. Each performance promises a fresh blend of iconic characters, new songs, and supernatural sass tailored to the talents of this all-star cast.
“It’s more than just a drag show,” Minj said in a statement. “It’s a magical theatrical experience that will leave audiences spellbound.”
That magic comes in no small part thanks to her cast:
- Sapphira Cristál, the operatic powerhouse and runner-up of Drag Race Season 16.
- Jujubee, fan-favorite multi-season queen with Broadway chops from DRAG: The Musical.
- Landon Cider, a trailblazing drag king whose theatrical flair made him a Dragula winner.
The Bette Midler Blessing
The origins of Hokus Pokus Live! are as iconic as the show itself. Ginger credits Hocus Pocus 2 co-star Bette Midler for planting the spellbinding seed. “I just really love the way that you do me,” Midler reportedly told Ginger. “I would like to see you take this and run with it and turn it into something.”
Consider it done, Divine Miss M.
