RuPaul’s Drag Race star Jinkx Monsoon and Major Scales are set to make their long-awaited return to the UK stage “with their most outrageously raucous show yet.”
Jinkx Monsoon and Major Scales: Together Again, Again! plays at The Leicester Square Theatre in London from 7-23 April before touring the UK.
The musical comedy show will play at venues in Newcastle, Edinburgh, Leeds, Hull, Coventry, Manchester, Brighton, Birmingham, Cardiff and Nottingham during April, May and June.
Together Again, Again! sees Jinkx Monsoon and Major Scales reunite once again following the success of their critically-acclaimed shows The Vaudevillians and The Ginger Snapped.

An official synopsis reads: “Jinkx Monsoon is a hard-working single mother with ambition. Since winning Season 5 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, she has toured the world performing her original cabaret shows with her music partner, Major Scales – the evil twin of Richard Andriessen, a musician, writer and performer based in Seattle.”
It continues: “With Jinkx becoming a faded TV movie starlet, Major fading into musical obscurity, and after decades of clinging onto what scraps of fame they still have – this highly anticipated reunion will see the pair coming together for one final reunion upon the stage.”
In a review of Jinkx Monsoon and Major Scales’ last UK stage outing, 2019’s The Ginger Snapped, Attitude’s Stephen M Horby declared that Monsoon is a “drag queen at the artistic genius end of the spectrum of sassiness.”
“The category is multi-talented drag queen supremeness, and Jinkx Monsoon wins,” he added.”
Jinkx Monsoon & Major Scales: Together Again, Again! is at The Leicester Square Theatre, London from Thursday 7 – Saturday 23 April before touring the UK. Full tour venues and dates can be found here.
