Ten years is a long time in any touring business, and the Werq the World franchise has spent that decade building into something most producers only dream about — a fifty-city production that treats drag performance as the serious theatrical art it has always been. The tenth edition, titled WTWN 10: Werq The World News, arrives in San Antonio on Wednesday, February 24, 2027, settling in at the Majestic Theatre on East Houston Street for a 7:30 PM curtain.
About the Show
The conceit for this anniversary tour is high-camp variety television reimagined as a live event. Asia O’Hara anchors the show as the “Anchorma’am” of Channel 10 — a fictional primetime news desk where the year’s biggest stories get filtered through drag, comedy, and spectacle. Weather, sports, entertainment, breaking news — all of it reported through the particular sensibility that RuPaul’s Drag Race has been refining for the better part of two decades. Voss Events puts it plainly in their official tour materials: “The world is chaotic, the news is exhausting, and the queens of RuPaul’s Drag Race are here to report it their way.”
The San Antonio bill features Asia O’Hara alongside Vanessa Vanjie, Jewels Sparkles, Morphine Love Dion, Roxxxy Andrews, and Plane Jane, with surprise guests from Season 19 rounding out the evening. The tour is presented by Voss Events in collaboration with World of Wonder — the production company behind the Drag Race franchise — across 50 cities in North America from February 5 through April 17, 2027.
About the Majestic Theatre
The Majestic is the right room for a show built on spectacle. Designed by architect John Eberson for Karl Hoblitzelle’s Interstate Theatres chain and opened June 14, 1929, the Majestic was the largest theatre in Texas and the second largest in the nation at the time of its opening — and the first fully air-conditioned theatre in the state, a detail that in the long San Antonio summers meant as much as the marquee. The building carries three historic designations: it has been on the National Register of Historic Places since 1975, was named a Texas Historic Landmark in 1991, and received National Historic Landmark status on April 19, 1993.
The Majestic closed in December 1974, was donated to the Majestic Foundation in 1976, purchased by the City of San Antonio in 1988, and restored in 1989 for $4.5 million. It served as home to the San Antonio Symphony from 1989 through 2014 before broadening to its current mix of Broadway touring productions, concerts, and performing arts. Current capacity is 2,264 — a room that has spent nearly a century making space for ambitious work.
