Like three of the fiercest
fairy godmothers in recent memory, three former RuPaul’s Drag Race superstars
are joining forces and hitting the road together. The brand new HBO
series We’re Here was announced
last year, and both longtime fans and novice drag viewers alike were
curious to see what we could expect from three of our favorite dolls. This past
week we got a look at the trailer for We’re Here and it looks
like we’re getting to see some of our favorite dolls take the “Everybody Say
Love” mantra that they learned once upon a time and apply it all over
America.
Each episode will show Bob The
Drag Queen, Shangela, and Eureka hitting small towns from Branson to Gettysburg
and helping their newly minted “drag daughters” step out of their comfort zones
and into a pair of pumps as they train them for a very special “one night only”
drag performance for family, friends. and loved ones. The trailer gives us a
sneak peek at some of the stories that are told throughout the series, and from
family acceptance to coming out as a drag queen, the stories are told with
plenty of heart and just the right dash of fierceness from three queens who
have more than enough experience in triumphing over adversity.
“I’m not a big
crier, but I cried,” Shangela — who also serves as a consulting producer
alongside Eureka and Bob — told EW (the
title does double duty by proclaiming the arrival of its fabulous leads, but
also as a statement of existence for queer people residing in small-town
America). “This show is something powerful and moving, it’s emotional, and it
also has that surprise production element that we were producing a
one-night-only show in places that have hardly ever had them, to showcase that
there’s this queer community [already there that] they didn’t even know
existed”.
“We’re Here”
debuts April 23rd on HBO
