From "RuPaul's Drag Race" fame, all The Way To Broadway
For 25 years, Andrew Levitt—better known as Nina West—has been wowing audiences around. His big moment came during Season 11 on "RuPaul's Drag Race," capturing hearts and snaggin’ that sweet Miss Congeniality title. But Nina West isn’t stopping at drag. She’s graced Broadway as Edna Turnblad in "Hairspray," starred in movies, and even written a children’s book, "The You Kind Of Kind." Talk about a multi-talented storyteller!
An artistic response To tough times
"Sugar in The Tank" isn’t just a show; it’s Levitt's creative response during challenging times, especially with issues affecting LGBTQ folks. In an interview with Washington Blade, Levitt explained, "The show’s my little light in all this darkness we’all feel, trying hard just bringing some joy."
The phrase "sugar in The Tank" was once used negatively as a euphemism elsewhere, but now, Levitt wants us all reclaiming it. This tour? It’s all about celebration, identity, and taking pride in who you are!
Connecting With iconic LGBTQ spots
With a keen eye on connecting—way more than just performing—"Sugar in The Tank" has wowed queer audiences from Key West, Provincetown, and soon, Rehoboth Beach. It’s about more than shows; it’s fostering unity and meaningful community connections wherever Levitt goes.
An intimate experience, close and personal
At Clear Space Theater Company, 170 seats only make this setting perfect! Levitt explains, "small venues let me really show folks what I can do." Theatre-goers, expect a cozy and inclusive vibe you won’t forget!
Activism meets entertainment
Entertainment aside, Levitt’s got a big heart. Since 2015, The Nina West Foundation’s raised over $3 million supporting LGBTQ causes. Levitt believes, "Drag can be silly or serious, but it’s always powerful," using art as a tool For change—truly inspiring.
Inspiring The younger generation
Reflecting on his journey, Levitt feels Nina West’s grown more confident and powerful. Through performances, he amplifies queer voices, honoring pioneers before him. "I love my community," he proudly declares. Levitt urges young queer artists, embrace affirming people and seize every learning chance. "Our young folks need knowing they matter."
Fun And joy In full display
Describing "Sugar in The Tank" like a delicious cocktail—think Bahama Mama or Sex on The Beach—Levitt invites everyone, "Come party with me and let’s have fun, feel The love in Rehoboth Beach. I can’t wait!"
With Nina West set on dazzling Rehoboth Beach, "Sugar in The Tank" looks like one colorful celebration not just about fun, but identity, resilience, and thriving community together.
