Martha Stewart Drag Musical Outshines Kris Jenner and Anna Wintour Performances

Martha Stewart, Kris Jenner, and Anna Wintour have recently been in the spotlight of entertainment with their portrayals in Ryan Raftery’s drag musical performances at Joe’s Pub.

Raftery, well-known for his ‘Titans of Media Trilogy,’ noticed a significant disparity in audience interest among the three iconic women.

Stewart’s musical extravaganza enjoyed a full house, while Wintour’s drew a large crowd, leaving Jenner trailing slightly behind in attendance figures.

According to Raftery, the lively reception for Stewart and Wintour is partially attributed to their humorous and campy personas compared to Jenner.

The Kardashian matriarch, Kris Jenner, has faced challenges in captivating audiences, potentially due to oversaturation of the Kardashian brand as suggested by Raftery.

Raftery’s portrayal of Wintour dates back to 2014, with Stewart’s show premiering in 2017, and Jenner receiving the drag treatment only recently prior to the combined performances at Joe’s Pub.

Celebrities like Bernadette Peters, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Patricia Field have been ardent fans of Raftery’s distinct shows, with recent appearances by Sandra Lee, Titus Burgess, and Peppermint from ‘Traitors.’

The presence of notable figures such as Michael Kors, Max Tucci, and Ashley Longshore at Raftery’s performances highlights the widespread appeal of his engaging portrayals.

During one show, Michael Kors reminisced about his experiences cooking with Martha Stewart on her show, emphasizing the personal connections that resonate with the audience.

Mary Ellen Mathews, the famed photographer from ‘Saturday Night Live,’ conducted an impromptu photoshoot featuring Michael Kors and Ryan Raftery, capturing the essence of the glamorous event.

Raftery revealed an amusing encounter with Stewart at Fern Mallis’s event, where Stewart acknowledged being warned against attending Raftery’s show, indicating potential apprehensions.

Raftery humorously reflected on the possibility of Stewart witnessing her own portrayal, envisioning a surreal scenario where audience attention would shift between her and the performance.

Notably, Raftery received a strong response from attendees affiliated with Sequential Brands at a past show, signaling the impact of his caricatures on industry insiders.

The success of Raftery’s Martha Stewart drag musical underscores the enduring appeal of his unique and captivating performances in the entertainment sphere.
