RuPaul’s Drag Race Favorite Jinkx Monsoon has announced her next big role – and it’s time to go wild!

Season five and All stars 7 winner Monsoon, who in August told how the Pope once “screwed it up”, is about to return to the lights of Broadway.

Monsoon broke box office records last year when it became the first hang out queen to take on the role of Matron “Mama” Morton in the Broadway adaptation of Chicago and also starred as Audrey in the Off-Broadway revival of Little Shop of Horrors.

Now it has been announced that she will star in a Roundabout Theater Company production of the Gilbert and Sullivan comic opera, The Pirates of Penzancerenamed Pirates! The Penzance Musical.

Monsoon, who will play Ruth, the pirate maid, joins Canadian actor and singer Ramin Karimloo and Spawn And When we get up star David Hyde Pierce in the production.

Doctor Who Villainous Monsoon took to social media to confirm the news, writing: “It’s a pirate’s life for Jinkx.”

Fans flooded her post, with most predicting she could be in the running for a prestigious Tony Award.

Karimloo will play the pirate king, while Pierce will be the very model of a modern major general.

Choreographed by Hello Dolly! And Kiss me Kateby Warren Carlyle, the comedy will take place in New Orleans.

The show will be directed by Scott Ellis, whose credits range from Suspended and desperate housewives And Weeds on television, to stage productions of Tootsie And The elephant man. “What you are about to see is a musical that celebrates the genius of Gilbert and Sullivan while taking joyful liberties,” he said.

“New Orleans was a great center of piracy. So, since our pirates have landed (there), we are adapting the title to be both familiar and fresh.

Pirates! is scheduled to run at the Todd Haimes Theater, West 42nd Street, April 4-June 22.
