Photos: drag queen dance-off finale

Rock of Ages, a hair-metal-inspired musical running in Toronto until Jan 2, treated audiences to a little diversion before the show Nov 17. It was the finale of So You Think You Can Dance… With a Drag Queen, with the top four contestants performing at the Royal Alexandra Theatre. It was a co-production with Church-Wellesley staple Crews and Tangos, hosted by Jade Electra.

Here are some photos from the event, starting with the So You Think You Can Dance… With a Drag Queen champion Omar White (as voted by audience applause).
