Description
New York Premiere
Step aboard the glitzy Glamazonian Express in this star-studded, riotous ride from director Adam Shankman (HAIRSPRAY) that queers the parody genre in the grand, outrageous tradition of AIRPLANE! and THE NAKED GUN. STOP! THAT! TRAIN! follows best friends Tess (Ginger Minj) and DeeDee (Jujubee), train stewardesses who trade their dreary shifts on the Stank Rail for the glitzy Glamazonian Express.
When a catastrophic “Stormaganza” threatens to derail the high-speed train, the duo in coach must join forces with the snobby first class attendants (Symone, Brooke Lynn Hytes, Marcia Marcia Marcia) and President Gagwell (RuPaul) to save the day in this wild roller-coaster of gags, camp, and nonstop hilarity. Full speed ahead!
All tickets include entry to the NewFest Pride Opening Night Party, which will take place at Slate NY (54 West 21st Street) from 9:30PM – 12:30AM.
Opening Night screening will feature an extended introduction with special guests.
