Rosé as Joseph in Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat Heather Gershonowitz It gave me the chance to be performing every day in a character where I could just improvise and say whatever I wanted,” she shares. “I created because I wanted to be on stage every single day. More importantly, though, Titaníque is a homecoming for Rosé, who grew up in Houston, Texas as a theatre kid doing high school musicals, later getting a degree in musical theatre from Wichita State University. “When we go to work, we are putting on some sort of attire, a character.” As a certain other world-famous drag queen has been known to say, we’re all born naked and the rest is drag. “The reality is that drag is a costume, and we are all doing drag every day,” she says. It may seem like a departure, but Rosé says it’s anything but. But this current role has Rosé-or should we say Ross McCorkell-hanging up the wigs and gowns for a non-drag role. Since making it to the final four in season 13 of RuPaul’s Drag Race, she’s been touring the world as one of the industry’s preeminent drag queens. Drag sensation Rosé, currently starring as Victor Garber in Off-Broadway’s Titaníque through May 21, is no stranger to the stage.
