I'm a big fan of drag shows and try to catch one wherever I can so after reading about Mado, I was super excited to come on my recent trip to Montreal.
Although the show was fun, it wasn't as good as I expected. I'm sure a lot of this had to do with the fact that the entire speaking part was in French and our group didn't speak French. The performances weren't out of this world either...except for one. One of the queens performed as Mary Poppins (among other performances) and she was FLAWLESS. From the bird and outfit to the facial expressions and the umbrella, this girl knew her thing. It was the biggest crowd pleaser of the night.
During the intermission and after the show, the cabaret becomes a nightclub and you can dance your heart away to everything from Britney and Pitbull to Sophie Ellis Bextor and French dance pop.
I can't say it was a bad show, we all had a good time, I think I'm just spoiled when it comes to drag queens. Although it wasn't drag perfection, it was still pretty fun. I don't think a trip to Montreal's Gay Village would be complete without at least one night here.
