Lucky Cheng’s, drag queen capital of the world, opened in October 1993 in East Village of NYC to provide dinner, cabaret, comedy, and karaoke by fiercely funny and outlandishly attired drag queens. When Prince Albert of Monaco dined “a la drag” in February 1995, Lucky Cheng’s was catapulted into the international limelight. This drag queen dinner theater remains a staple for gossip columnists as it continues to attract celebrities such as Britney Spears, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Lenny Kravitz, Ashley Olsen, Victoria Gotti, and Johnny Knoxville. Considered a New York institution, the Grey Line tour bus guides announce the boite as a must-see attraction on its downtown loop.
The very interactive show at Lucky Cheng's Cabaret Restaurant, features a nightly drag hostess comedian with cabaret and Asian dance performances by the hostess and other drag performers The show occurs in the dining room during dinner.
An R rated Chuckie Cheese’s for Adults, Lucky Cheng's offers a welcome departure from the drudgery of the ordinary dinner-and-a-show experience. With its over-the-top zany entertainment and staff, it is no ordinary drag experience. The irreverent sense of humor and perfect comedic timing of the show's hostesses are guaranteed to have you laughing to tears. The costumes and Asian dance performances by our resident Asian “girls” create a stunning counterpoint to the comedy. For those who dare (or are coerced), audience members can become part of the show. Forget what you know about other lip-synching female impersonators, because Lucky Cheng’s is the perfect place to bring that bachelorette, recent divorcée, birthday boy or girl, out of towners, or in-laws! And never forget, the more you drink, the prettier they look.
