Enter a world full of fashion, charisma, and sisterhood.
This new reality TV show recently won Best Non-Scripted Series at MIP Africa’s very first Inclusive Lens Awards.
Beaulah Queens van die Kaap follows the lives of seven larger-than-life drag queens in the heart of Cape Town’s drag industry. The series offers a glimpse into what goes on behind-the-scenes, the challenges they regularly face, and their moments of victory. The ladies also offer insight into what drag means to them as well as their communities.
The seven queens taking centre stage in this popular reality show are Miss Sovereign Western Cape winner Ina Propriette, Miss Cape Town Pride winner Kat Gilardi, SA’s Got Talent runner-up Manila von Teez, Miss Gay Western Cape winner Maxine Wild, BB Vahlour, TV personality Madison Scarr, and multi-pageant winner Emogan Moore.
“A lot of people do not get to see who we are beyond drag, so this show is an opportunity for people to know us on a more human level,” says Gilardi.
“We are normal people with struggles and emotions and we go through the same things as everyone else. I am hoping that people will laugh, learn and relate.”
