It’s incredible to think that it took this long for Michael Jackson, the late “King of Pop” who died two months shy of his 51st birthday in 2009, to be the subject of a big-screen biopic (in IMAX, no less).

South Florida, I’m going to say it simply, but this is your sign to get back into a theater seat. Right now, "Hairspray" is lighting up the Broward Center for the Performing Arts, and it’s exactly the kind of feel-good, high-energy show that just works this time of year.

However, it may be the first time that audience members might have to decide which is more breathtaking - the black and white photography or the actor in the lead role?
For Briar Blush, her “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 18 run was filled with backstage battles and a mug that simply does not quit (along with one of the most dramatic runway moments to ever occur on “RuPaul’s Drag Race”). I sat down to chat with Briar about her drag inspirations, her on-screen run-ins with her fellow competitors, and what it was like coming up in the Boston drag scene.
