Jewish Queer Media Highlights

BY: TAMAR LADD | SHE/HER

Miz Cracker:

Miz Cracker is a Jewish drag queen who competed on RuPaul’ s Drag Race Season Ten. She incorporates her Jewishness into her drag and comedy. Her drag is inspired by the women in her life and Jewish comedians. Her comedy incorporates elements of the sarcasm and wit you might hear from your Jewish relatives. Her drag aims to deconstruct Jewish stereotypes and celebrate Jewish culture. Miz Cracker ’ s performances encourage others to practice self-confidence and embrace their Jewishness.

When Hanukkah rolls around be sure to check out her “Jewtorials ” on Youtube for a

good laugh. | Instagram & Twitter: @miz _ cracker

Falsettos:

Falsettos is a wonderful Broadway musical offering funny and complex characters and relationships. The core of this musical is about love and family. Falsettos follows a gay man, Marvin, who recently divorced his wife to be in a relationship with another man, Whizzer. Marvin ’ s ex-wife Trina and their son Jason grapple with Marvin ’ s new relationship. Much of the family drama takes place when it is time for Jason ’ s Bar Mitzvah. Falsettos is humorous, nuanced, and beautiful. A few of my favorite songs include: “Four Jews in a Room Bitching, ” “Miracle of Judaism, ” and “A Tight-Knit Family/ Love Is Blind. ”

Although Falsettos is no longer touring, you can watch a wonderful recording off the production on BroadwayHD | Link: https://video.broadwayhd.com/movies/falsettos
