Alyssa Edwards - A Very Alyssa Christmas
About This Event
Alyssa Edwards is the stage persona of Justin Dwayne Lee Johnson, a drag performer rooted in competitive pageantry and dance training who worked as a choreographer and reached wider audiences through RuPaul’s Drag Race, All Stars, the web series Alyssa’s Secret and a recent win on RuPaul’s Drag Race Global All Stars. For A Very Alyssa Christmas she brings the Thanks For Everything Tour 2026 to Gramercy Theatre, presenting tightly choreographed movement, precise comedic timing and character‑forward storytelling.
About A Very Alyssa Christmas
Now at Gramercy Theatre, *A Very Alyssa Christmas* brings Alyssa Edwards to a New York stage in a seasonal drag-theater frame. Edwards is the performance identity of Justin Dwayne Lee Johnson, shaped by Texas pageantry circuits and formal dance training, with earlier work as a choreographer before wider recognition through *RuPaul’s Drag Race*, *All Stars*, the web series *Alyssa’s Secret*, and a recent franchise win. In NYC, holiday programming is often tradition-first; this show treats tradition as material to be reworked, not simply repeated. The result sits between play and persona study, using performance as both ornament and autobiography.
