The Capital Pride Alliance’s annual Broadway musical revue Music in the Night is an evening of song and theatrical performances connecting and fostering local talent in the National Capital Region’s theater community.

We are excited to have Peppermint from RuPaul’s Drag Race and first trans woman to originate a principal role on Broadway, and Jon Richardson who is a singer, song-writer, and piano bar performer in Provincetown, as our special guests.

Peppermint is a trailblazing actress, singer, reality star, and activist who defies limitations. A longtime key figure in queer nightlife, Peppermint’s star rose thanks to her smashing success as the first out trans contestant on Rupaul’s Drag Race where she finished as runner-up in one of the series’ most-talked-about finales. Soon after, her talent led her to become the first trans woman to originate a principal role on Broadway in the hit musical Head Over Heels.
As an activist, Peppermint has raised six-figure sums for prominent LGBT rights groups, partnered with the MAC Cosmetics AIDS Fund and is involved in the HIV Vaccine trials network. She is particularly concerned about the challenges faced by transgender and non-binary people in today’s political climate and takes every available opportunity to speak at universities and to various communities on the issue.
