Queen of the Whole Wide World

In a vibrant spectacle, a troupe of charismatic drag queens strut their stuff in a high-stakes competition, showcasing their quick wit, captivating charm, and remarkable singing talents while supporting a worthy AIDS charity.

A group of friends started a drag contest as a spoof of the Miss USA competition in 1989. Over the years, it grew into a large-scale beauty pageant raising over $130,000 for a local HIV agency. The film follows seven contestants competing in the "Quest for the Crown" event, showcasing their personal stories and struggles as gay men. As the contest approaches, community spirit gives way to competitiveness, and the contestants work with various professionals to put on an outrageous show. The film culminates in scenes from the event itself, both on-stage and backstage.
