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!

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."
