WHO'S WHO IN THE CAST

ALASKA THUNDERFUCK (Mary Todd Lincoln). Alaska Thunderfuck 5000 is a world famous singer/songwriter, Drag performer, actress, and co-creator, co-writer, and star of “DRAG: The Musical,”which won the Outer Critics Circle Award for outstanding new Off-Broadway musical. She co-founded the LGBTQ+ podcast network “Moguls of Media (MOM),” home to her award-winning podcast “Race Chaser with Alaska & Willam.” She has appeared on such TV shows as “Drag Me To Dinner” (Hulu) and “Dungeons & Dragons Queens” (Dimension 20). Film credits include “Lady Champagne” (Frameline Film Festival) and “The Last Sharknado.” Alaska also won RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars 2, but doesn’t like to brag about it. Alaska’s fifth solo studio album just came out and is actually really good. Underneath Alaska is Justin Andrew Honard— a sensitive artist from Erie, Pennsylvania. Both Alaska and Justin can’t believe this is actually happening. For my friends, my family, my team, and Matt— the President of my heart. @theonlyalaska5000
