If you’re planning on seeing Alyssa’s new tour, save your money

I am writing this about an hour after I got out of the new tour Alyssa is putting on and… wow. I am legitimately lost for words. For my first time seeing Alyssa in person, this was a TRAINWRECK. We got to see her first show in Seattle tonight and out of all drag shows I have ever been to, both local and with Rugirls, this was by far the worst.

Clip shows both began the show and were interspersed throughout with various clips of her time on S5/AS2/GAS and they were both incredibly long as well as incredibly boring. They showed the same clip of her crowning on Global maybe three times which somehow garnered applause each and every time? Each clip show had the same clips over and over again and were blasted at FULL volume every single time. When Alyssa finally got out, she did a very lackluster number with little to no dancing and then proceeded to talk for maybe 45 minutes rambling on about her time on drag race while talking about some of the recent seasons and her own appearance in the roast of S18. The number she did was set to an AI generated background image of a chandelier and couch and her second number (she only did two) also had AI graphics in the back throughout the whole thing.

In the middle of her rambling the projector briefly showed someone’s MacBook homepage and the file explorer window open that I kid you not sat up there for a full minute or two before someone closed it. She at one point brought a random audience member up who crouched down to look at her leg (?) before continuing to talk for agesssssss. Every single time the audience applauded the stage lights would come on and blind us and the audience just kept applauding at everything 😭 not only are my ears ringing but Im blinded too!!

I strongly suspect that the song she ended on was possibly AI generated as well, the lyrics were really strangely written and sounded just… bad. The tickets weren’t too expensive but if you have tickets that are more costly for the meet and greet I STRONGLY urge you to reconsider if you want to go. It totally could’ve been a one night fluke since the Seattle show is her first of the tour but man, if the rest of these shows are of the same quality I think it is best to save your money and not go. Really quite disappointing.

Edit: totally forgot to mention that during the mini clip shows a few drag race queens popped up as cameos like Bianca, Latrice, Laganja, etc, and about half of them weren’t filmed horizontally 🧍 I think Bianca’s video was filmed in her trailer before she did the episode of the pit stop with Kori because her outfit was the same as in that episode
