TO WONG FOO, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING! JULIE NEWMAR (1995) takes the stage to support Oregon Queer History Collective! 100% of proceeds go to Oregon Queer History Collective's work to document, share, and preserve local LGBTQIA2S+ history and culture.
TO WONG FOO puts Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguizamo into the heels of Vida Boheme, Noxeema Jackson, and Chi-Chi Rodriguez—three New York drag queens road-tripping to Hollywood for the Miss Drag Queen of America Pageant. When their Cadillac breaks down outside a small town, the queens find themselves making over not just the townsfolk’s outfits but also their hearts and minds. Co-starring Stockard Channing, Blythe Danner, and Beth Grant —plus a drag-star-studded opening sequence featuring Coco Peru, Lady Bunny, Joey Arias, and RuPaul—TO WONG FOO is as unexpectedly sincere, funny, and sweet as the painted ladies who lead it.
