Ep. 2: Marcia Marcia Marcia on Broadway (2025-05-02)

From Drag Race to Broadway’s spotlight — Marcia Marcia Marcia shares their creative journey. In this special episode of Portrait of a Queen, we meet the incomparable Marcia Marcia Marcia — known on Broadway as Marty Lauter — backstage at the historic August Wilson Theatre, as they step out of their usual role as Victor and into one of theater’s most legendary queer characters: the Emcee in Cabaret. Just days after moving into their new Jersey City apartment with their fiancé, Marcia welcomes us in for an intimate pre-show moment. We talk Drag Race, life on Broadway, self-care — and how their creative evolution has empowered them to be that boss bitch. Marcia also shares how early training in the performing arts helped shape their mental health, identity, and sense of community — offering advice for anyone looking to tap into creativity to support their own emotional well-being. It’s drag. It’s Broadway. It’s the transformative power of the arts.
