00:00It's a rehearsal day here at RuPaul's Drag Race Live at the Flamingo, and we're welcoming
00:11our newest cast member, Bosco.
00:15It's the first burlesque number, actually, that we've had.
00:17Oh!
00:18You think it'll be better than the one Roxy did on my All-Star season?
00:21Is it gonna be better than your talent show?
00:25We're not even gonna talk about what happened with that.
00:26We won't talk about mine either.
00:28I'm Derek Barry, and I've been with the show since the opening.
00:31I was part of the original cast alongside Evie, Naomi, Vanjie, Cameron, and host, Asia.
00:36I love being in Drag Race Live because I get to live my Britney fantasy five nights a week.
00:41We have six original songs, so it is the Broadway of the West Coast, and the pit crew is pretty
00:46hot too.
00:47I'm living my best Vegas life here.
00:49Good luck, Bosco.
00:51I'm Bosco, and this is my last rehearsal before the show tomorrow.
00:54I'm excited!
00:56This number's gonna be everything.
00:59So the other girls have walked in.
01:00They're watching me, and it's a little bit of pressure.
01:02I've worked with Lawrence and Pangina before, but it's a lot of veterans.
01:06Alexis Mateo, Derek, Coco, Latrice, and Kennedy are all part of the current cast, and they're
01:11making me feel a little bit nervous, but I'm excited for them to see what I can do.
01:14When is this one in the show?
01:16Tomorrow night.
01:17All right, I'm excited.
01:18I wanna see what you're gonna wear.
01:19It's gonna be fun.
01:20It's all the same color as this.
01:21You gonna keep those jogging pants on?
01:23Yeah.
01:24Costume.
01:25Glamour.
01:29Oh my God.
01:33My first issue with the number is, to me, blue is a male color.
01:37It's not.
01:38It is not.
01:39Well, to me, it is.
01:41Everything was going well until Coco chimes in.
01:43On you, baby.
01:44Pink is not female.
01:45Pink is soft.
01:46It's soft.
01:47Okay.
01:48Okay.
01:49You sound like a boomer.
01:50Sounds like.
01:51Like, girl, we don't even think like that anymore.
01:54Well, excuse me for being born in the 70s.
01:56I'm born in the 70s, but you act like you're born in 1932.
01:59Yeah.
02:02What I would do is, everything would be soft.
02:04It would have been a pink, a pastel, or a yellow, or something.
02:07Just because those colors don't look good on you doesn't mean they can't look on other
02:10people.
02:11I mean, every color you wear in the show doesn't look good on you.
02:12I look like a soul.
02:13Oh, shit.
02:14Oh my God.
02:15We asked her, do you think blue is for boys?
02:18I do.
02:19I'm actually really into gender roles.
02:21I think that there's two types of people in the world.
02:24Men and women.
02:26Oh, she's kidding.
02:27I don't believe it.
02:28I don't believe it.
02:29Go for it, girl.
02:30I don't believe it.
02:31Wow.
02:32Coco brings up that blue might be a masculine color.
02:34I'm a little taken aback, but at the same time, I'm not going to get offended when my
02:37slightly older aunt has some sort of boomer comments to say about my costume.
02:41We're going to talk about it, but I'm also going to mess with her a little bit.
02:44Bosco, now that you're here in Vegas, I want to say thank you for absolutely nothing.
02:51Drink a lot of water, girl.
02:52You're going to need it.
02:53Welcome to this particular part of the chaotic family of Drag Race.
02:56Yeah.
02:57I'm excited.
02:58I'm excited.
02:59It's a big family.
03:00That's a lot of girls that have done the job.
03:01It's fun.
03:02It's fun.
03:03You have fun.
03:04This is business as usual for drag families.
03:05Our main love language is shit talking.
03:06You look like you're not going to have that many clothes, so you'll be good with changing
03:09and stuff.
03:10Do I feel the pressure from the other queens?
03:12No.
03:13No, not really.
03:14Like one panty for the next panty to the next panty, for sure.
03:17You know what?
03:18I'm going to double down on this.
03:19I think I can wear more blue.
03:20This is tomorrow.
03:21I'm not going to push it, but you only have six hours to get it together, baby.
03:25This makes me nervous.
03:26We do all that.
03:27Don't work too hard.
03:32That's a wrap.
03:33Let's go.
03:35I love that.
03:43It's time to get ready at the Flamingo Las Vegas.
03:46I've been performing here for about a month now, and every single day, there's always
03:49something new.
03:50I feel so grateful.
03:51I am one of the 29 girls to ever be on Drag Race Live.
03:58You're now part of the Fly Girl room.
04:00There might be an opening for you in the room next door.
04:03Oh.
04:04All right.
04:05Okay.
04:07Now the real bullying happens.
04:09I knew you were that girl.
04:10Exactly.
04:11As new girl, I'm definitely feeling a little bit of the playful hazing.
04:15But everybody's honestly being real cute.
04:17Pangina was so nice when she got here.
04:20What are you talking about?
04:21I'm so nice.
04:22Derrick has a reputation of starting to pop.
04:24She knows how to push people's buttons, and I freaking love it.
04:28I just learned how you like to fuck with other people, and you do it with the worst, I mean,
04:33the best timing.
04:36That's going to be cute, right?
04:37Oh, it's not so how.
04:39My name is Kennedy Davenport, and I've been performing here since last year.
04:43Fruit Stripe gum.
04:45Flavor lasts all 10 seconds, bitch.
04:46You'll be like, oh, throw that away.
04:50I'm Latrice Royale.
04:51I'm the larger than charged, chunky-ass, funky, bold, and beautiful.
04:55This is my second time coming back to the Flamingo here in Las Vegas.
04:59These are not mine.
05:00They're going in the trash, man.
05:01Who you calling trash?
05:04I'm sharing a dressing room with Alexis and Kennedy.
05:06That's my drag niece, and so this is my family.
05:08I'm glad you two hoes are back in the house, because I like you guys.
05:12They have to call somebody to save the show.
05:15Oh, hello.
05:16I'm here.
05:17Don't worry about it.
05:18I got you.
05:22My name's Laurence Chaney.
05:23I am the first international queen on this Las Vegas stage.
05:29I was the host for the 500th show when Mama RuPaul was in the audience.
05:34I got to slap her.
05:35Oh, my God.
05:36It's already five.
05:38I completely forgot we had a 7 o'clock show.
05:40Coco, can you get ready fast?
05:43Derek, we've been doing shows in Vegas on the street for over a decade.
05:46There's been 500 shows.
05:48I've been in at least 400.
05:50I was just asking.
05:51You said you forgot 7 o'clock.
05:53I love pushing Coco's buttons, because I've known Coco the longest.
05:56I said I forgot we had a 7 o'clock show.
05:58I didn't say I forgot how to do my makeup.
06:00It's like a big sister, little sister, maybe older sister, younger sister, actually.
06:04That's more what we're... I'm the younger one.
06:06Yeah.
06:10Why do you think blue is masculine, you psycho?
06:12I don't mean it in like a, like a, oh, if you wear blue, you're a man.
06:17If I want to feel feminine, I want to feel like a woman,
06:19blue is like the last color I'm going to put on.
06:21If I looked good in blue or green, I would wear blue or green.
06:24I don't think it makes me look feminine.
06:26The color blue is just not for me.
06:28It doesn't work on me at all.
06:30At all.
06:32I don't think it makes me look feminine.
06:33Please edit in a picture of her wearing blue or green.
06:38No, I don't have to wear blue.
06:39I'm begging you.
06:40Yes, she does.
06:41I fucking Googled it, world of wonder.
06:43You all working behind the scenes,
06:46you need to get a picture of Miss Coco Montrese wearing blue.
06:49She wore blue contacts and a blue shirt in the confessional.
06:52They were like...
06:53And then for the red carpet of the finale of RuPaul's Drag Race Season 5,
06:59you wore green.
07:00You wore lime green.
07:02I did wear green.
07:03Green, you cunt.
07:04I did.
07:05You found out.
07:06You were...
07:07I did.
07:08We got receipts, baby.
07:09Here goes that Coco delusion.
07:11Oh, now we're getting the same timing.
07:13The delusion, girl.
07:15It's real.
07:16Delusion.
07:17When you look it up in a dictionary, Coco Montrese's picture pops up.
07:23It's contagious, I guess.
07:24When you hang out with her too long, bitch, you start believing it.
07:27We're going to pray for my sister so she can heal.
07:33How long are your friends here?
07:39I think they left.
07:40Oh, yeah?
07:41That was it?
07:42Yep.
07:43Last time I was in the States, I had a boyfriend, so I didn't do anything.
07:46But this time, all in.
07:48I just recently become single.
07:50Honestly, my goal for Vegas is to get over my last relationship
07:55and to be happy being single.
07:56Because when you're in a relationship, you get lost and you forget who you are.
08:00I was in a relationship where, number one, we played together,
08:03and then we went to monogamy, and then he cheated on me.
08:06I didn't find out, but then I found a condom,
08:08and he said that he likes to use a condom to masturbate in.
08:11I can't believe people say that.
08:12And I'm just like, that's the worst lie I've ever heard in my entire life.
08:15Why?
08:16Because it's so comfortable to jack off with a fucking condom.
08:19Oh, then there's no mess to clean up.
08:21Grab a Kleenex.
08:22Right, it's not that hard.
08:23Really?
08:24I really want to find out why pangina is so hot, but single.
08:28I think I'm a perfect candidate for a threesome
08:30because I feel like I can definitely negotiate the fact that I was like,
08:33oh, I'm not going to give you full attention.
08:35It has to be 50-50 all the way.
08:37Yeah.
08:38So I think I'm into both of them completely.
08:41Love that.
08:42Coming from someone in a throuple, I am really looking forward to pangina
08:46maybe dating more than one person at a time,
08:48or more than one person in a night.
08:50I'm excited for her to experience Sin City the way Sin City should be experienced.
08:55All in.
08:56All in.
08:57Two for one.
09:00Let me tell you something.
09:01What?
09:02There is a difference in a good performer and a good entertainer.
09:06I'm with Kennedy, and you know, my niece, she always has something to say.
09:10Who are entertainers?
09:12Everybody but pangina.
09:17Girl, you know.
09:18Shit.
09:20Kennedy has been performing for a long time,
09:22so she already know how she do things,
09:24how to connect with the audience, and what to do in case of emergencies, you know.
09:28And pangina's kind of new, and I think she thinks that pangina don't know.
09:33Only because she's young.
09:35That's not a ring.
09:36Everything pangina does is amazing, and she's hitting the moves,
09:39and she's powerful, and she's exciting.
09:42You know what I'm talking about.
09:43Stop playing.
09:44Auntie, please tap in, because I don't want to seem like the bad person,
09:49but anybody can learn choreography.
09:51Anybody can learn to do a number.
09:53Right.
09:54But can you make that number your own?
09:57It ain't no T. It ain't no read.
09:59It's just an observation.
10:06Kennedy knows I can hear everything she's saying,
10:09but these girls love to read.
10:11I'm not bothered.
10:13They're just jealous.
10:15Just because I'm a fucking national treasure
10:17does not mean that you can be like me, me, me.
10:20Hookers.
10:23Hookers.
10:28Makeup's done.
10:29Wig is on.
10:30And it's time to start the first performance of tonight.
10:35Hello, hello, hello, Las Vegas.
10:39Welcome, everyone.
10:40Welcome.
10:54Oh, my God.
10:55Today, I fall down and everything to make it,
10:57you know, to switch some things around.
10:59And it's life, baby.
11:00RuPaul's Drag Race is a life.
11:01You never know what's going to happen.
11:03I fall all the time.
11:04Our costumes are heavy.
11:06It's a lot of movements.
11:07A lot of people on stage.
11:08We change in, like, seconds.
11:11It's a live show, sweetie, so anything can happen.
11:14One day, I do everything right.
11:16The next day, I broke a leg.
11:18All right, y'all.
11:19If I can eat up.
11:21We have two shows tonight,
11:23and we have just under an hour
11:25to eat and try to relax.
11:28Lord help us, honey.
11:30Kennedy, how did you find energy to do that second show?
11:33I think it's just honestly, truthfully,
11:35for the passion, for the art form.
11:38No, I don't do two shows.
11:40Now, I will as I move into this host position.
11:43But going up and down the stairs, no, baby, no.
11:46I don't do two shows.
11:47I'm too old.
11:49And my knees ain't right.
11:51Is that an excuse?
11:53Oh.
11:54Excuse?
11:55Latrice is always giving us excuses.
11:57And I honestly feel like it's because she sweats so much.
12:00After you're out there on stage,
12:03and the audience go crazy,
12:05it's like you don't feel tired or nothing.
12:09It's magical.
12:11And you know what?
12:12Some of us grow up,
12:14And you know what?
12:15Some of us grow up dreaming about headlining in Las Vegas.
12:18Yeah.
12:19As an entertainer and since you're little.
12:21We just never knew where we were going to fit in.
12:24My mother would, once I got my driving license,
12:28she would let me and my friends
12:31take off to Vegas for the weekend.
12:33Oh, word.
12:34Yeah, when we come here.
12:35First drag show I ever saw was
12:37Kenny Kerr Boylesque here in Vegas.
12:40That was my first dose of seeing a professional
12:44headlining drag queen show on the strip.
12:47And I was blown away.
12:49Never thought I was ever going to do drag.
12:51Right.
12:52But I was so like,
12:54That's a man.
12:55I was blown away.
12:57And now here we are, 30 years later.
13:00Just the whole production and the stage
13:04and a queen being a headlining
13:08in Vegas.
13:09This is the dream.
13:10This is where you want to be.
13:12This is where a queen deserves to be.
13:14It's a discipline that we all grew up under.
13:17And when we have an opportunity to have something
13:20on a regular basis, we cherish those things.
13:22Right.
13:23We've never been like the entitled type of queen
13:26that don't care about, you know,
13:28and just call in and just not, you know, no.
13:30We're going to show up.
13:31We're going to do our job because we love what we do.
13:33Right.
13:34It's a passion.
13:35This job means a lot to me.
13:37Probably because I'm a bit older
13:39and you have to look at it like that.
13:41And every day you have to get up
13:42and you have to dedicate yourself to this job.
13:46We get all the energy from the audience
13:48that changes our whole aspect
13:50and our whole attitude and our mood
13:53to push on through and give an excellent show.
13:55Right.
13:5610 hours.
13:57No.
13:59Really?
14:0130 minutes.
14:03I'm exhausted.
14:05And we got a full second show.
14:07No, we don't.
14:08Yeah.
14:09It's a full house for the second show.
14:11Really?
14:12Yeah.
14:13I better wake up.
14:14You better.
14:15I don't want to go out with this tonight.
14:16I had to take my diet pill.
14:18You have a diarrhea pill?
14:19Diet.
14:20Diet.
14:21Not diarrhea.
14:22Okay.
14:23But I need one of those.
14:24Well, you're always full of shit.
14:25Diarrhea.
14:27She said diarrhea pills.
14:28You definitely need to take your diarrhea pills.
14:30I didn't know they had one of those.
14:31Oh yeah, baby.
14:33Bosco.
14:34Yes, go.
14:35Look at what someone did.
14:37Oh.
14:38It's like they threw their bread
14:40and let it drip down and left it there.
14:42I'm going to find out who did that.
14:44Somebody smashed this bread on my mirror.
14:47I don't know why someone thinks it's funny
14:49to smear buttered bread on my mirror.
14:52It's not cute.
14:53Like, I will get to the bottom of this.
14:55And then they left the evidence.
14:59Coco?
15:01Bitch.
15:02What?
15:03Somebody own up to this.
15:05Someone smashed greasy bread on my mirror.
15:08No.
15:09And then they left the evidence.
15:10No.
15:11It was you?
15:12No.
15:13Who did it?
15:14Was it you, Coco?
15:16No.
15:17I ate my bread.
15:18Oh, really?
15:19Yeah.
15:20You ate half of it?
15:21Did you do that?
15:22I ate half of my bread,
15:23but that's not the other half.
15:24You can't come through here any more than...
15:26When we were eating,
15:27did I get up with any bread and leave the room?
15:29No.
15:30So I sat there and ate my food with you, right?
15:32Yeah.
15:33You're also gonna arrest my case.
15:35It could be anybody,
15:36but he thinks it's me.
15:38And I wonder why.
15:39Breadgate.
15:40Breadgate.
15:41Find out.
15:42This will not be here forever.
15:43Who breaded me?
15:44Who breaded me?
15:46Nobody.
15:47Who breaded me?
15:48Nobody.
15:49Baby, I don't care about Breadgate.
15:51All I'm trying to figure out is when I'm getting bread.
15:54Do I look like I'd waste food?
15:58How is she gonna perform?
16:01I'm really emotional about it.
16:08Everybody's gonna look all glamorous,
16:09and I'm gonna look like the girl that goes against the Red Bulls.
16:12It's time for the second performance.
16:15Hello, hello, hello, Las Vegas!
16:19Oh, my God, I'm gonna be hilarious.
16:21Meet and greet, and we are Hit It.
16:26At the end of the show, we get a meet and greet.
16:29Hi!

16:32Wonderful!

16:44Oh, my God!
16:45Oh, my God!
16:46Today is my son's 12th birthday,
16:48so we decided to celebrate him.
16:50Yes.
16:53He just came out,
16:55and it's the type of experience
16:57I wish I could have had with my own uncle.
17:00Caused me to realize how much of a world
17:03is different for him to grow up in.
17:07Thank you so much.
17:09Thank you for coming back.
17:12Later, we're gonna go to Piranha
17:14to watch Alexis perform,
17:16but right now, we're going to Untucked and Kiki.
17:19Now that Bosco's in the show,
17:21nobody else's costumes have been on.
17:23No, no, I will say that.
17:25I got to see some of that shit, baby, honey.
17:27I'm very excited that it's your show tomorrow.
17:30Baby, she is giving high drag fashion.

17:41Fashion.
17:43There's a big family of sisterhood here,
17:45and they've welcomed me with open arms.
17:47Yeah, I get props for props to do, bitch.
17:49And you're wearing blue.
17:51I am wearing blue.
17:52It's my favorite color.
17:53It's such a good one.
17:55Here we are again, color blue.
17:57But it's only for boys.
17:59Only for boys, absolutely.
18:01I don't even get why they keep bringing this up.
18:03Apparently, we all just found out that blue's for boys.
18:06It's masculine, she said.
18:08Blue is a choice.
18:09It's a choice.
18:10You know what I'm really stuck on?
18:12The fact that you never feel feminine.
18:20I don't care what color you wear,
18:21we're happy that you're here.
18:23I mean, I was going to be the naked girl,
18:24but now that you're here.
18:25I know, I took the walk-around body roll.
18:27Sorry.
18:28No, I appreciate it.
18:30This is a well-oiled machine of a show.
18:33I'm like, oh, okay, everything has a spot.
18:35Everything has a moment.
18:37Everything is rehearsed.
18:38Right.
18:39It's gorgeous.
18:40You seem very confident, though.
18:41You look amazing in the run-throughs.
18:44Because you look extremely confident.
18:45Yeah.
18:46You look like, I've been here already.
18:47I've done this.
18:48I did lose here about a year ago.
18:50Yeah!
18:51Right on.
18:53I know, I'm like, oh, losing is the new,
18:55yep, I know that.
18:58A year ago at the same theater,
19:00we filmed an I Lost season 14 finale.
19:03I've lost so many times that the only thing
19:05that makes sense is for me to win.
19:06There's a little bit of, like,
19:08a lingering ghost walking through the flamingo
19:10because it's attached to a lot of different memories
19:12from filming that finale and losing that finale.
19:15But I'm excited to replace that
19:17with something a little bit more fun.
19:19So this is like vindication for you.
19:20It's like vindication for you.
19:21You're like, bitch, I was here.
19:23Yeah, I lost, but bitch, I'm here.
19:24I feel good.
19:25I feel good.
19:26Like, doing drag or being on stage,
19:27I'm like, okay, cool, absolutely.
19:30How do we feel the show went tonight?
19:32Long.
19:33I thought the host was great.
19:35Get a room.
19:36We do, it's right there.
19:37Yeah, we do.
19:38Right there.
19:39Coco, what's it like rooming with Lawrence?
19:41Oh, my God, for Christ's sakes, Derek.
19:43Oh, my God, I can't ask a question?
19:45That's just how they love each other, Coco and Derek.
19:48You're asking me everything,
19:49like I'm the only one in the room.
19:51Coco.
19:52I think maybe y'all have some unresolved issues.
19:55Coco, are you okay?
19:57Oh, no, we don't have an issue.
19:58Ah!
20:01I'm just trying to ask questions as a friend.
20:05Whoo!
20:07Shit.
20:08We do get on really well, which is nice.
20:10Me and Coco get on really well.
20:12We have this kind of strong connection.
20:14You're matching.
20:15It's cute, his and hers.
20:20I love you.
20:21I think we're going to have a good time together.
20:24I really like her.
20:26To be fair, Lawrence and I are getting along great.
20:29I love you, Coco.
20:31Who did the bread?
20:32What bread?
20:33What happened to the bread?
20:34The bread on my mirror?
20:35Like bread.
20:36They smeared their bread on my mirror.
20:38How do you know it was smeared bread?
20:39It was, oh, they left it there.
20:41Oh, the bread was still there.
20:42Yes!
20:43They left the evidence.
20:44Ring mirror, ring light mirror.
20:46Oh.
20:47The evidence is gone.
20:48I'm fat, and even I wouldn't eat that off the floor.
20:51Five seconds and...
20:53That was on there for like five minutes.
20:55Maybe that was not five things.
20:58Oh.
20:59Oh, not double dip-nip.
21:01Blech!
21:02I still want to know who smeared bread on my mirror.
21:04Buttered bread.
21:05Gross.
21:06But now it's time to hop on the party bus
21:08so we can go see Alexis perform at Piranha.
21:10But more importantly, we are going to find Pangina a man.
21:14No cerulean.
21:16Very masculine color.
21:20Oh, now it's pink.
21:21A gender reveal party.
21:23Too sad.
21:25Come on, we got to go, girl.
21:26I'm going to get hit by a car.
21:28Yeah, let's go.
21:29Bye-bye.
21:30Hot.
21:31Woo!
21:49So we're all having fun at Piranha,
21:51and then all of a sudden, Pangina is just making out with some boy.
21:54I am sex positive.
22:01And the next thing we know, he's on the bus with us.
22:11I'll say one thing.
22:12Pangina works fast.
22:14I'm impressed.
22:15Sorry I'm a whore.
22:18I'm happy Pangina found love.
22:20For one night.
22:21And by the way, we are going to tease her the rest of the time she's in Vegas.
22:31We'll see you next time.
