![]() His make-up was exquisitely applied, never garish. Busch was bathed in it! He would play all these grand leading ladies in his own plays, but slathered them in side splitting comedy. There is that golden rule that comedy cannot be taught. His comedic timing, pace, and delivery is phenomenal. One arch of his eyebrow to a comedic line or moment and he had the audience howling in laughter. Using his face as a comedic palette, he painted subtle, yet hilarious expressions. So few actors can do what Busch can do in the world of comedy dressed as a woman. Where he really excelled was his extraordinary comedic talents.

Now we know from our theater history Shakespeare was the first to use male actors in female roles because women were forbidden to be on stage.īut here is where Busch stood out to show his acting craft. His work as a playwright is staggering and broke barriers in regards to not only playwriting but men portraying roles in drag. His scripts mirrored those characters that flickered across the silver screen. So with that inspiration he began his journey as a playwright to create works for himself to portray these screen stars in drag. He strongly felt connected to those femme fatales in those black and white celluloid films.

He does not pile on globs of makeup or wear outlandish costumes. He blazed onto the New York theater scene in the 1970s. Now some drag queen performers do tell jokes or do stand up in between their lip syncing numbers.īut for those in the theater world would say that it was Charles Busch who changed the world of drag into an art form that is impossible to duplicate. Not really.” Why you ask? That form of drag combines heavily painted faces, extravagant costumes, wigs, and 99.9% of the time they simply lip sync to songs. But true.In season four of RuPaul’s drag race when one of the contestants was eliminated, she said to RuPaul, “You have changed the world of drag forever.” I immediately thought, “No. Hey you said you would love to die some". ![]() It reminds me of my friend who is on drugs and his transition into drugs with the line "Hey you said that you would love to try some, Alex from Narberth, PaThis song is great.I love the break down, 'Hey you said you would love to try some.'

The crowd loves you at a concert, but they are really just strangers. It's about feeling down and being away from the one you love.

(I'm with everyone and yet not heavy on everything but my love). Even though he's around people who love him (i.e family and friends) but she's the only one that can make him happy or better again. Gavin is saying that the pain that's the heartbreak is causing has to be swallowed in a way.
