Evening of food, rail and stars

PHOTO: PETER MCINTOSH Most of us have heard of Stars in Their Eyes, Dancing with the Stars, and RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars. Now there is dining with the stars — and it is happening here in Dunedin. Dunedin Railways has partnered with Tūhura Otago Museum and the Dunedin Astronomical Society to take passengers on two exclusive Stargazer train journeys through the Taieri Gorge, to have a gourmet meal beneath Otago's star-studded sky. Then, if the weather is good, they will be able to disembark at Hindon and explore the cosmos, unhindered by street lights, with the help of seasoned astronomers and state-of-the-art telescopes. If it proved to be too cloudy, Tūhura Otago Museum science communicators would also lead two interactive astronomy activities, which aimed to unlock some of the mysteries of the universe. About 120 people boarded the train at Dunedin Railway Station last night for the first sold-out tour. Lindsay Sinien, of France, said her partner Jurij Boccioli bought tickets for the ride as a surprise. "We love stargazing, so he booked the journey as a romantic surprise for me." Asked if an engagement ring might make a sparkling appearance during the trip, there was nervous laughter all around before Miss Sinien said, "No, not tonight — I don't think". The duo were looking forward to seeing the Milky Way, a distant galaxy, and maybe some of the planets in the solar system. The second Stargazer tour will be held on June 27, and has also sold out.

Jinkx Monsoon to take over lead role on Broadway's ‘Oh, Mary!'; says she's ‘lucky to be alive at same time as' Cole Escola
Mary Todd Lincoln, meet Jinkx Monsoon. Monsoon, best known for her winning runs on both 'RuPaul's Drag Race' and 'Drag Race All Stars,' announced on Wednesday that she is set to take over the lead role in the wild, Tony-winning historical spoof 'Oh, Mary!' on Broadway this summer. Current star Cole Escola won the Tony Award for best lead actor in a play for the role earlier this month, and is also credited with writing the play. In Monsoon's announcement, she called Escola a 'genius' and said the play was 'one of the best things I've ever seen.' 'Cole is easily the funniest person alive and I'm just lucky to be alive at the same time,' she added. 'Oh, Mary!' is a revisionist farce that looks at American history during the administration of Abraham Lincoln, exploring the curious dynamic between the president – who many posit was in the closet – and his unruly, alcoholic wife Mary Todd leading up to their fateful night out to the theater. Monsoon is set to perform in 'Oh, Mary!' from August 4 to September 27, following a run by Tituss Burgess. Escola originated the role when the show opened last summer and continued until January. Escola returned for a limited run in April, which concludes this weekend. In her time in the 'Drag Race' orbit, Monsoon was a popular figure whose theatrics, impeccable comic timing and biting humor often shined through, especially in the Snatch Game segments when she impersonated legends such as Edie Beale. Monsoon has also amassed an impressive theater resume, both on the Great White Way and off. She appeared in 'Chicago' and can currently be seen in 'Pirates! The Penzance Musical.' She also enjoyed a run as Audrey in 'Little Shop of Horrors' off-Broadway and regularly tours. She performs a beloved holiday show with her fellow 'Drag Race' alum BenDeLaCreme.

'Drag Race All Stars 10': Bracket 2 queens who advanced to semi-finals
Paramount+ Kerri Colby; Lydia B Kollins; Jorgeous; Nicole Paige Brooks; Mistress Isabelle Brooks; Tina Burner on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10. Editor's note: This article contains spoilers for episode 6 of . RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars season 10 episode 6 featured the bracket 2 queens — Jorgeous, Kerri Colby, Lydia B Kollins, Mistress Isabelle Brooks, Nicole Paige Brooks, and Tina Burner — fighting one last time to earn enough points and qualify for the semi-finals. Three queens within Group Pink did collect the most Tournament of All Stars points and moved forward to the next stage of the competition. And just like it was announced at the end of bracket 1, Mama Ru has a lottery twist for the three other queens who didn't qualify in this round. Going into this sixth episode, the scoreboard of bracket 2 queens had Jorgeous and Mistress Isabelle Brooks with 4.5 points, Lydia B Kollins with 3 points, and Tina Burner with 2 points. Shockingly, both Kerri Colby and Nicole Paige Brooks still found themselves stuck with 0 points. With four Most Valuable Queen (MVQ) points still waiting to be distributed and only one more maxi challenge away from the queens qualifying to the semi-finals, all bets were off in this Tournament of All Stars. - YouTube This second round of Most Valuable Queen (MVQ) points distribution had one big winner, Kerri Colby, who went from no points to 2 points in just a few minutes — tying with Tina Burner on the scoreboard. Nicole Paige Brooks also left the no-points station by receiving 1 point. The remaining fourth MVQ point available was given to Lydia B. Kollins, putting her at a total of 4 points. This round of MVQ points created shady dynamics for Tina, who won the first maxi challenge of bracket 2 but was suddenly tied with Kerri for a chance to advance to the semi-finals. Nicole wasn't thrilled about her prospects of moving forward in the competition, but she did seem relieved from no longer being stuck at zero. Despite all the strategizing and planning between Mistress and Jorgeous, it was clear that Lydia snuck up on them without getting too much "blood" on her hands — to the point of even receiving an MVQ point despite already being a contender to make it to the next phase of this tournament. Paramount+ Lydia B Kollins and Jorgeous lip syncing on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10 episode 6. The "Starrbooty: The Rebooty" Rusical of episode 6 had Jorgeous and Lydia B Kollins as the top 2 queens of the week. One more point was hanging in the air, and these two divas did the damn thing in a lip sync to Beyoncé's "Texas Hold 'Em" that could've solidified their path right to the semi-finals. Jorgeous was deemed the winner of this lip sync, helping her reach a total of 7.5 points overall. Considering that the highest score of bracket 1 came from Irene The Alien (7 points), Jorgeous officially became the queen with the most Tournament of All Stars points in the entire competition thus far. This final round of MVQ points distribution for bracket 2 also took place on the main stage, just in the first bracket. Each of the four "bottom" queens had an MVQ point to give, and it quickly became clear that this was a battle between whether or not Kerri would catch up to Mistress, or if Mistress could still qualify to the semi-finals even if she didn't get any points from her All Stars 10 costars. Nicole gave her MVQ point to Kerri. Tina gave her MVQ point to Kerri. Kerri gave her MVQ point to Tina. Mistress gave her MVQ point to Lydia. Paramount+ Lydia B Kollins; Mistress Isabelle Brooks; Jorgeous on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10. Lydia B Kollins, Mistress Isabelle Brooks, and Jorgeous finished bracket 2 having the most points within Group Pink, so all three of them moved forward to the semi-finals. Their final track record of points on All Stars 10 was broken down as such: Jorgeous won two maxi challenges (2 points each), one top 2 lip sync (1 point), one tied top 2 lip sync (0.5 points), and received two MVQ points. Jorgeous's final score: 7.5 points. Lydia B Kollins won two maxi challenges (2 points each), one top 2 lip sync (1 point), and received two MVQ points as well. Lydia's final score: 7 points. Mistress Isabelle Brooks won a maxi challenge (2 points) had a tied top 2 lip sync sync (0.5 points), and schemed her way to win two MVQ points. Mistress's final score: 4.5 points. Paramount+ Kerri Kolby; Tina Burner; Nicole Paige Brooks on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10. Tina Burner won the first maxi challenge of bracket 2, but didn't win the top 2 lip sync. Throughout competition, she only received one MVQ point. Kerri Colby and Nicole Paige Brooks didn't win any challenges, so their final scores were entirely based on their social game and the MVQ points that came with it. Try as they might, Nicole, Kerri, and Tina did not advance to the semi-finals in this Tournament of All Stars. Paramount+ DeJa Skye; Phoenix; Irene The Alien; Olivia Lux; Bosco; Aja on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10. Irene The Alien: 7 points Bosco: 6 points Aja: 5 points DeJa Skye: 4 points Olivia Lux: 4 points Phoenix: 1 point Paramount+ Kerri Colby; Nicole Paige Brooks; Tina Burner, Jorgeous; Lydia B Kollins; Mistress Isabelle Brooks on RuPaul's Drag Race All Stars 10.
