Varla Jean Merman describes her
10th Anniversary Regurgibration not as a greatest hits collection but as a 'pre-loved" body of work. If you don't already have fond memories of a decade's worth of the drag diva's songs, monologues, rants and films, this is a gratuitous chance to acquire a taste. The globetrotting actress is reprising her greatest hits from shows like
Varla Jean Merman's I'm Not Paying for This,
Girl with a Pearl Necklace,
Holiday Ham,
The Very Worst of Varla Jean Merman and
Varla Jean Merman Loves a Foreign Tongue. A Varla film fest precedes the show. Tickets $32 (includes $5 drink credit). —
