With 5-inch hells to match his/her 5-inch hair and sequins galore, BenDeLaCreme is going on a cruise through Dante’s Nine Rings of Hell. And s/he is taking you along for the ride. What a ride it is! Rowdy, ribald, and rhinestone-ridden, BenDeLaCreme dances, sings, and camps it up through the various levels of Hades portraying the various characters that inhabit the netherworlds, including Centaurs, Furies, Heretics, and even Lucifer himself. As s/he journeys through the River Styx, the City of Dis, Maleborge, and the ultimate depths, puppets, clever videos, hilarious props, and over-the-top costumes join in the raucous ride. And there’s even a few life lessons to be learned.

The many talents of BenDeLaCreme cannot be denied. Best known from RuPaul’s Drag Race where s/he won Miss Congeniality and later was voted one of the show’s “15 Fan Favorite Queens of All Time,” BenDeLaCreme seems to have mastered it all - comedy, song, dance, performance art, characterization, camp, burlesque, and drag with a meaning. Not my usual advice to readers, but I strong urge you to go to Hell and see INFERNO A GO-GO.
