Drag superstar and RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars winner Alaska will take the stage as a special guest star in the U.S. tour of Freestyle Love Supreme July 23 at Pasadena Playhouse in California. The show has been playing the venue, the tour's final stop, since July 12 and is scheduled to continue through August 7.

The news was shared by the production on Instagram.

The performance will be the latest foray into theatre for Alaska, alternatively known as both Alaska Thunderfuck and Alaska 5000. The drag star led the cast of Pasadena Playhouse's Head Over Heels in 2019 and released a studio cast album of her in-development show Drag: The Musical earlier this year.
