"QUEENS (6x10) is a comedy-mystery whodunnit following an eclectic cast of Toronto drag queens leading up to the night of the “Miss Church Street” pageant. Each episode focuses on the misadventures of a particular drag performer whose preparation for the pageant is interrupted in a strange and unfortunate way. All of these mishaps lead the queens to realize the truth- they have all been sabotaged! But who among them is the saboteur? Or, rather, saboteuse?
The show features a diverse cast of queens and modern queer folk who make up the very fabric of our city. Champagna as “Elaina”, the reigning Miss Church Street, who loses the crown; Ivory Towers as “Shoshanna”, Elaina’s rival and an old school queen, Quick Lewinsky as “Mooney”, a comic relief queen, Allysin Chaynes as “Naomi”, a spiritual vibe-loving queen; Lucy Flawless as “Sharron”, a type-A bossy queen, Lucinda Miu as “Minnie”, the ditzy queen with a heart of gold; and Jada Shada Hudson as “Paper”, who has a traumatic run-in at a strip club; Baby Bel Bel as "Babs" who is stood up by an internet hookup; and Kyah Green as "Lou" an endlessly tired and overworked non-binary person has to juggle four jobs, three partners, two cats, and all of the queens' feelings."
