Drag and Dolly fans will be in heaven as the two combine at the Freemasons Hotel on Friday night, with an extravaganza honouring the music icon.

Geraldton is set to welcome world-renowned Drag Queen BarbieQ for her Mid West debut as Dolly Parton.

The Drag Diva Spectacular will be providing tongue-in-cheek, loud-mouth humour for one night only at The Freemasons Hotel, with limited tickets available.

BarbieQ says “the show is a love letter to Dolly as she is my favourite singer from my childhood”. She’ll be covering music from the beginning of Parton’s career through to her current work and collaborations.

After 20 years leading in the entertainment industry, BarbieQ is the recipient of countless awards including entertainer of the year and Perth’s Favourite Drag Queen. When she’s not performing, BarbieQ is the entertainment manager for Connections nightclub in Perth.

“We can safely say you can expect fun and glamour while in the hands of BarbieQ as Dolly Parton,” the organisers say.

“You will feel uplifted, spiritualised and energised from this action-packed show!”
