The Kinsey Sicks, America’s Favorite Dragapella Beautyshop Quartet, comes to Whitefish
The Kinsey Sicks, an award-winning, all-male quartet, serves up a feast of music and comedy at 8 p.m. Nov. 11 at the O’Shaughnessy Center in Whitefish.
Billed by Variety magazine as “one act that should not be missed,” America’s Favorite Dragapella Beautyshop Quartet complements clever and comedic lyrics with finely blended voices and over-the-top drag in a show aimed at mature audiences.
For over 20 years, the group’s superb a cappella singing, sharp satire, and outlandish drag have earned them a diverse and devoted following. Their performance record includes an Off-Broadway show, an extended run in Vegas, two feature films, and eight albums.
The Kinsey Sicks will perform their show, “Chicks with Shticks,” which includes original songs and parodies of well-known hits, all in gorgeous four-part harmony. The New York Times recently called The Kinsey Sicks “the hottest ticket in town … taking the cabaret world by storm.”
The Kinsey Sicks began in 1993 as a group of friends who went to a Bette Midler concert in San Francisco dressed as the Andrews Sisters. They began singing and harmonizing that night, and the seed for the group was planted.
Within a few months, the Kinsey Sicks morphed into the bewigged, larger-than-life characters of Rachel (Ben Schatz), Trixie (Jeffrey Manabat), Trampolina (Spencer Brown) and Winnie (Nathan Marken). Since then, they have toured internationally to rave reviews.
Their critically acclaimed Off-Broadway hit, Dragapella! at New York’s legendary Studio 54, received a nomination for a Lucille Lortel Award (the Off-Broadway Tony) as Best Musical and a Drama Desk Award nomination for Best Lyrics.
The Washington Post has called The Kinsey Sicks “uproarious … brilliant … authentically joyful” while the Chicago Tribune has described them as “outrageous, marvelous, hilarious … they’re golden-throated vocalists who defy categorization.”
