I hope they are not scared to tell their story. What do you hope audiences take away from Maybe This Time Live ? People are there to see you, and you should at least give the same gratitude to them as they do to you. I am out there on the dance floor pumping it. I don’t hide backstage, or hate doing meet-and-greets. When I finish a show, I stay and hang around. There are so many facets and people, and I love to meet them. If a show is going on down the street, I will try to make time to go see it because I have always been fascinated by the different styles of drag all around the country. I love to meet new people and see the different styles of drag. We would love to see you in Denver! What have you been enjoying the most about the tour?
If you want me to come to Denver, reach out! But yes, the Ru-sical was one of my favorites, as well as the acting challenge where I got to play, like, Mommy Dearest. We are all very set in our ways, so it gives me a chance to listen to other people. I love to be critiqued because, sometimes, we are never able to see certain things. A lot of people would get offended by them, but I took it all in. I still love what I did, and I was open to any critiques the judges had the whole time I was there. Was the Ru-sical your favorite challenge? Take an experience I had on the show, take a step back, and make a whole new situation out of it. I decided to take a situation where I was told I was in the bottom, which is questionable, and even watching it back, it’s still questionable, but I wanted to take that experience and do something different. Yes! I played the em-shee in the Ru-sical, which was based on the emcee from Cabaret, and “Maybe This Time” is a song from the production. You were inspired to create this show from your time on Drag Race ? You get to see why I’m such a mean monster. I now get a chance to tell my story, my side.
TINA BURNER TV
On a TV show, you only get to see a certain part of me because it’s the story they tell. The show tells my whole story through these musical standard classics, but some are reimagined. They can expect to see a different side of Tina Burner.
Since competing on Drag Race, she found a new audience and new passion to leave her mark on the worlds of drag and entertainment.īurner took some time to chat more about Maybe This Time Live and her Drag Race experience with OFM.Ĭan you begin by telling us more about your new singing cabaret comedy show, Maybe This Time Live, and what audiences can expect? In 2019, the self-proclaimed “Manhattan monster with a heart of gold” was crowned National Miss Comedy Queen, and she was named winner of the GLAM Award for Best Cabaret and Best Comedy Performer. After an initial brush with drag, she immediately fell in love with the art form and has become a pinnacle of New York drag royalty. “The message of the show is to never forget where you come from, never lose sight of where you’re going, and never give up on your dreams … oh, and world peace,” Burner explains.īorn and raised in upstate New York, Burner moved to the Big Apple in 2005 to pursue a stage career in musical theatre.
With orchestrations and arrangements by Blake Allen, show stopping numbers include A Chorus Line’s “What I Did for Love,” La Cage Aux Faux’s “I Am What I Am” and Gypsy’s “Rose’s Turn” reimagined as “Tina’s Turn.” Not a traditional drag performance, Maybe This Time Live is a theatrical production with Broadway standards and comedy that tells the story of Burner’s personal life, from today backwards to the first time she realized she was gay. Tina Burner, the larger-than-life personality who brought a copious amount of red, orange, and yellow to the mainstage on RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 13, is touring across the country with her one-woman show, Maybe This Time Live.
