The competition is fierce on season 18 of RuPaul's Drag Race, currently airing Fridays at 8 PM ET/PT on MTV, and that can only mean one thing—it's an excellent time to get this season's Rusical. Well good news, queens: This year's musical challenge airs February 27, and Playbill has an exclusive first look! Watch above.

This season's Rusical will see the queens taking roles in Fanny: The Hard Knock Ball. Plot and character details are being kept under wraps for now, but it certainly sounds like we can expect a musical exploration of orphans, their alcoholic state-appointed guardians, and everyone's sickening runway lewks.

The episode airs February 27 on MTV at 8 PM ET/PT, and streams via Paramount+.
