Manhattan’s Drag Show Shines in Chelsea

Chelsea dazzled last night with Manhattan’s Drag Show, strutting NYC’s spring on March 24. Performer Amir Hassan lip-synced as 250 cheered, a $12 ticket bash on 23rd Street. It’s borough glam—pure Manhattan vibe, wigs hot. A rookie tripped a heel; a pro slayed a ballad. ‘Manhattan shines—this is it,’ Hassan says, fixing lashes. The stage turned runway.

The show’s fresh—March 24’s start, it tripled since RSVPs, packing seats by 9 p.m. Hassan’s a Harlem queen; last night’s crowd hit max—glitter flew. A latecomer nabbed a spot; lights flashed—NYC grit glowed. Acts hit six—poses ruled. #NYCDrag trended; Brooklyn wants a sash.

Some griped—’Too loud,’ sniped a newbie, dodging beats. A mic buzzed—fixed quick; strut held. A rival’s pitching a SoHo show, splitting queens. Still, 350 stayed—sparkle reigned. Chelsea’s never shined so bold.

Hassan’s teasing a monthly run, maybe a ball if spring bites. ‘NYC’s stage—this owns it,’ he says, packing costumes. The show’s a Manhattan win—grit meets glam. It’s a drag rush; catch the next. Bring heels—runways call.
