Netflix Just Gave Meryl Streep the Epic Drag Tribute She Deserves
Category is: Night of 1000 Meryls!
There's no doubt Meryl Streep is a gay icon! The three-time Oscar winner even acknowledges that fact during a really meta moment as diva Dee Dee Allen in The Prom, Ryan Murphy's film adaption of the beloved Broadway musical.
To celebrate the living legend, Netflix has gathered some of our favorite drag queens for a Night of 1000 Meryls, an epic tribute performance where eleven queens donned their best Meryl drag (inspired by some of her best characters over the years) for an instantly iconic, rousing lip-sync to "It's Not About Me" from The Prom.
Manila Luzon plays Dee Dee Allen, Monique Heart is Miranda Priestly, Dani Kay is Donna Sheridan, Kim Chi is Sister Aloyisus, Jinkx Monsoon is Madeline Ashton, Jewels Long Beach is Margaret Thatcher, Vanessa Vanjie is Julia Child, Big Dee is Mary Fisher, Willam is Sophie, Valentina is Aunt March, and Delta Work is The Witch.
Groundbreaking.
