The most magnificent Drag production in Europe

The Rotterdam Drag Show is the first high-end drag production in the Netherlands and a unique drag show in the world. This stems from a deep desire to give the art form of drag the stage it deserves.

In that same spirit we set forward to launch the Drag Queens, Illustrated site. A place where drag as an art form is translated into beautifully designed art. This fits seamlessly with the ambition of The Rotterdam Drag show. To help create a community that celebrates the art of Drag.
