bob_bear I first saw Wigstock in an Art-house cinema in Berlin amidst an audience largely made up of glamorous and extremely vocal German drag queens. And let me tell you, it was one of the most fun experiences in my life. Talk about audience participation? It was a riot! I've since bought first the video and now the DVD and watch it again and again - whenever I need a pick me up - whenever I need to remind myself that, as The Lady Bunny says: "We can all get it together and have a great time!" I have only two criticisms of this movie. 1. At a running time of approx 85 mins, it is not long enough! And 2. I really don't like Leigh Bowery's performance at all. Otherwise, it's all good. The audience are every bit as fabulous as the performers on stage and backstage.A couple of my fellow posters have complained about the lipsynching. Why? It's a given in drag culture. And Girlina and the like are awesome exponents. Got a complaint? You try lipsynching in those heels, honey! This film somehow manages to be both a celebration of diversity and community. I am totally in awe. My thanks to all concerned.

jericho4119 Today - more than ten years after Wigstock 1994 was immortalized in this film - I finally watched this movie. So today, I want to reach back a decade and say thank you to the producers of this movie, who took it upon themselves to chronicle this day of joy in a city that needs it now more than ever. I encourage everyone - whether or not you have ever taken RuPaul's advice to get yourself a wig, some heels and some pantyhose and then live fierce for even a short time - to view this movie with an open heart and an open mind. I defy anyone to do that and come to any conclusion other than this film depicts people who are the heart and soul of our democracy, the very essence of what makes this the world's greatest nation.Viva Wigstock!

Schlockmeister It's hard to know where to begin here. It's basically a documentary of the Drag festival Wigstock. These kinds of documentaries are great in that they give people in Middle America a look into a world they would probably never otherwise see. Being that this is a drag show, you will of course see fabulous costumes, fabulous hair, fabulous attitude and fabulous song numbers. It's all a world where people are caught up in in visions of their own absolute fabulousness. In scenes where you see several people living together and getting dressed for their performances, you wonder how such larger than life personalities could stand to share the same room.Great performances here. Lypsinka is great as always and here on this movie you will have your only chance to see a Drag Queen give birth on stage. Recommended only if you are not uptight.

orbiT ... it doesn't go behind the scenes at all to give u any sense of the event...furthermore, why is alexis arquette in it? he has nothing to do with wigstock.. he's just friends with the director.
