Hello again everyone. Sorry I hardly ever post. Came across this and thought I would share it.

Thanks.

Drag isn't "age appropriate"? I remember seeing Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fud, Tom & Jerry, Fred Flintstone, Barney Rubble, Scooby Doo, & the 3 Stooges in drag.

I'm sure there's modern kids shows where the characters did drag too. Then there was the very popular recent kid's book & TV special, "The Boy in a Dress".

If the poor kid put so much time & effort into the show, maybe he should make a video of it. He can put it on YouTube, or maybe on a Facebook page where it can be semi-private, & they can choose who gets to see it.

the school's concern was due to the fact that 11 year olds would be in the audience and ru paul's drag race is not considered family friendly in the uk.
   It is not banned but it is restricted to a post 9pm watershed on tv
still, the kid got some free publicity and is getting to do his act at some alternative adult venues

Personally I think he came across as a spoilt brat and I wouldn't waste my cash on a ticket!
