Acclaimed drag star returns to NYC for Gay Pride -- 3D glasses optional!
Fri. June 25 & Sat. June 26 at The Gramercy Theater
"hostile, lewd, and riotously funny" -- Time Out
"Beat is a trained theater actress, but no amount of training could make
a person this talented, this witty, or this scathing. The show should just
be called ‘Jackie Beat is a F*cking Genius.’” -- The Village Voice
“a triple-shot barrage of twisted songs, barbed social commentary,
and all-around bad taste” -- Staten Island Advance
JACKIE BEAT, everyone's favorite big and bawdy, bold and ballsy, in-your-face funny "lady" brings her wildest show to date to Off-Broadway’s Gramercy Theater (127 East 23rd Street -- accessible from the N,R,F,V & 6 trains at 23rd Street). Just in time for Gay Pride, she premieres JACKIE BEAT: IN 3-D! It will be presented two nights only: Friday, June 26 (signed for the deaf) and Saturday, June 27 at 10:00 pm.

Are you ready for a real summer blockbuster? Filled with unexpected explosions of violence, copious sex, gallons of special effects makeup, and a mega-watt performance from one of (West) Hollywood’s “biggest” stars, JACKIE BEAT: IN 3-D! is here. This action-packed evening of new material and classic hits is must for anyone who has chosen a lifestyle that goes against God and nature. Don’t miss Jackie’s filthy take on Dolly Parton’s "9 to 5", her musical explanation of the gay hanky code of the 1970’s as set to “Tie A Yellow Ribbon”, a boozed-fueled version of "Proud Mary", and her controversial ode to pedophilia set to Bryan Adam’s “Heaven.”
