About
​A love letter to the divas and the gays who stan them! Welcome to an original queer comedy musical about Alexis's childhood as a stan. After moving to rural Germany from New York City at age 8, discovering pop divas online was his only salvation... Now he's ready to sing about it! Join Alexis for his first solo show as he attempts to get his PhDiva in Stanology, with a concentration in Motherological Studies and a minor in Slayviation. Does this queer Bo Burnham have what it takes to be... a lil gay diva?!​
