Judson Memorial Church is an iconic landmark and legendary performance space on Washington Square Park. It is every bit as bold and vibrant as Heartbeat Opera. Steeped in queer history and community, Judson was our dream setting for SLAYLEM last year, our audience and artists loved it so much that we’re going back, this year for an expanded two-week run! We can't wait to see you there.

You are invited to join us in your most spellbinding attire. Whether you bring your best drag, dress up like the wicked witch of the Met Opera costume shop, or just wear what makes you feel good, we eagerly await your presence. Comfort is always welcome, but expect an evening of enchantment and allure.

Yup! And you can always come and go from the bar during the show.

It's 80 mins long—long enough to send chills down your spine and, hopefully, give you a wickedly good time.

Yup! The restrooms are the ones with the sign, "This restroom has been liberated from the gender binary."

Yup! You can grab your ticket at the door, but... getting your ticket in advance is the best way to show us your love.

Easily! Judson Memorial Church is on Washington Square Park (55 Washington Square S, New York, NY 10012).

You can buy alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks at the bar (which accepts cash and credit). There is no drink minimum, and there is no food.

It’s not that kind of drag show, so you can keep your dollar bills. All our performers are paid.

Refunds can be accommodated up to 24 hours before your scheduled performance. Exchanges are on an as-available basis. If you need a refund or exchange, please contact us at info@heartbeatopera.org.

Masks are optional.
