For the last seven years, Jamie Morris’ twisted Mommie Queerest has had sold-out audiences across the country re-thinking the oft-quoted tale of Mommie Dearest – Christina Crawford’s tell-all about her tumultuous relationship with her famous mother – with the simple premise, “What if Joan had really been a man all those years?”
Told by an all-male cast of four, Mommie Queerest entertains the notion that Crawford was actually a man in drag, a fact she hid from her fans, her children and the world. Even when Christina finds out, takes revenge and writes Daddy Dearest, it’s Joan who still has the last laugh.
In celebration of the 30th Anniversary of the Mommie Dearest movie, Mommie Queerest plays the Diversionary Theater (4545 Park Boulevard) as the third stop on its national tour. The show plays April 14 through April16 at 8 p.m., and April 17 at 5 p.m.
