What happens when you take 3 male 90s moviestars, wack ‘em in drag & a ramshackle cadillac, and set ‘em off on a cross-country road trip across America? Why, nothing but a constant stream of Camp hilarity, a magical never-ending supply of technicolor fabric, and a reformed small town in middle America, of course! 

TO WONG FOO, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING! JULIE NEWMAR (1995) overflows with queer joy and winking defiance, weft through every inch right down to its unwieldy title ;) This feel-good comedy sparkles with color, spectacle, love and revolution, all shot on gorgeous 35mm film. 

Far from caricatures, WONG FOO celebrates queer life. The actors worked with IRL queens in shaping their dignified and spirited portrayals of drag queens, earning Patrick Swayze and John Leguizamo Best Actor/Supporting Actor nominations at the 1996 Golden Globe Awards. The film was also nominated for Outstanding Picture at the 1996 GLAAD Media Awards.

Don’t miss this opportunity to catch this broadway-esque cult classic, big and grand like it deserves. TO WONG FOO, THANKS FOR EVERYTHING! JULIE NEWMAR (1995) opens our 2026 PINK SCREEN programme on Friday, 29 May.
