Duck-walking diva Anetra is among the many performers scheduled to grace the Bonham’s stage Thursday.
You’d by no means guess it from his child face and boyish demeanor, however native LGBTQ+ nightlife innovator Rey Lopez is popping 49 years younger this month.
To rejoice the event, Lopez is flying in a slick sextet of superstars spanning all 16 seasons of RuPaul’s Drag Race and even international franchises of the present. Aptly, Lopez’s motley crew represents all corners of the drag spectrum — from pageantry to high-octane glamor to avant-garde theatrics.
Encompassing two electrifying showcases with a short intermission for powder-room visits and cocktail refills, his Thursday evening bash packs in performances by atomic blonde Kylie Sonique Love (Season 2, winner of All Stars Season 6); nipped-and-tucked fashionista Detox (Season 5, All Stars Season 2); duck-walking diva Anetra (Season 15, pictured); amusingly named oddball Amanda Tori Meating (Season 16); self-described “transformista” Christian Peralta (winner of Drag Race Mexico Season 1); and Australian comedy queen Hannah Conda (Drag Race Down Below Season 2, UK vs. the World Season 2).
As with all Rey Lopez Leisure showcase, his merely titled #RLE49 options help from his roster of top-notch native drag entertainers — Nilaya Milan Matthews, Kylie Attractive Dlux and Better of San Antonio winner Hunsen Abequeer amongst them— who will heat up the stage as a part of a fast-paced opening megamix.
Though Lopez was tight-lipped about some other birthday surprises, we’re secretly hoping to see his shit-talking, snaggletoothed emcee Tencha la Jefe leap out of a cake.
$50, 10:30 p.m, and midnight, Bonham Change, (210) 224-9219, fb.com/reylopezentertainment.
