Tender and upbeat THE LADY IN QUESTION IS CHARLES BUSCH is the affectionate and entertaining tribute to actor writer drag performer and glamorous leading lady Charles Busch. From a tragic lonely childhood lived through classic Hollywood films to writing and starring in the riotous and raw Off-Broadway hit "Vampire Lesbians of Sodom" at a gloriously rundown theater in theEast Villate to giant success on Broadway and Hollywood with such hits as Die Mommy Die! The film wonderfully casts Busch's fascinating life as a turbulent and triumphant "drag to riches story" (Village Voice). Expertly cut with awe-inspiring performances of Busch channeling the great female actors of classic Hollywood the film also intertwines interviews with admirers and renowned colleagues who are charmingly eccentric characters themselves and an original short film made by Busch about his near-death experience. Directed by award-winning directors John Catania and Charles Ignacio the film roars as an informative graceful and energetic reflection on themes of success and failure gender sexuality and the magic of theater. A must-see for theater fans and the uninitiated alike THE LADY IN QUESTION IS CHARLES BUSCH makes for a worthy tribute to a true gay icon.
