Sewers of Paris: The Eight-Year Audition (Ep 427 - Into the Woods/Alexis Michelle) (Patreon)

My guest on this week's Sewers of Paris podcast spent eight years auditioning for Drag Race before he was accepted and his life completely changed. Alexis Michelle, aka Alex Michaels, was a theater performer when he discovered a love of drag, and gradually figured out how to turn his hobby into his career. Now Alexis known for two much-talked about appearances on Drag Race, for appearing on the show Dragnificent, for multiple off-Broadway roles, an album, and an upcoming live tour. But Alex (and Alexis) are only just getting started — ever since seeing his first Sondheim show at the age of five, he’s never stopped dreaming of Broadway. And he’s never been closer to making that dream a reality.
