"Wow. Wow, wow, wooow! Gorgeous. Absolutely mesmerising. The most spectacular show I have seen in a while. I cannot remember when last I had so much fun - laughing from the pits of my tummy.The beautiful, enchanting and oh-so-spicy Queens left us awestruck - encore! I still cannot stop thinking (and talking) about that memorable evening. Their dance moves were hypnotic (kudos to the choreographer), their costumes were A-grade (STUNNING) and their performance, Oscar-worthy! A gasping, heavenly show. WELL DONE TEAM. You have outdone yourselves!!! Shoutout to Q Quarantina - you are one marvelous, gorgeous and goddamn special human. Also - best gin cocktails. "
