To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything! Julie Newmar

Release Date: September 8, 1995

Noxeema Jackson (Wesley Snipes), Vida Boheme (Patrick Swayze) and Chi Chi Rodriguez (John Leguizamo) are gonna show America a thing or two about being fabulous. Dressed to kill, with their Dynel tresses tossing in the breeze behind them, these three stars of New York City's drag-queen beauty pageant circuit have hit the open road in a 1967 Cadillac convertible, destination: Hollywood.

But the trio is in for a detour when the car breaks down in the tiny midwestem town of Snydersville, where drag queens are about as common as August snowstorms. "Those women sure are big," gasps one of the locals. Up to now Snydersville has been a lot more like a graveyard than a town. That's all about to change. The local citizenry is going to get an infusion of flash and glamour the likes of which it's never seen. During the course of one incredible weekend, eyes will be opened, broken hearts healed, and hair teased within an inch of its life.

Wesley Snipes, Patrick Swayze and John Leguizamo star in To Wong Foo, Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar, a comedy from Amblin Entertainment for Universal Pictures. It is the first mainstream Hollywood feature to deal with drag queens as drag queens. Beeban Kidron directs, and the original screenplay is by Douglas Carter Beane. The producer is G. Mac Brown, and Bruce Cohen is executive producer.
