Back in 1990, the edgy documentary "Paris Is Burning" exposed the
gloriously gritty underworld of urban house balls, and soon after,
Madonna thrust a hyper-stylized version into the cultural mainstream
with her legendary video, "Vogue."

Now, playwright Tarell Alvin McCraney, who won accolades last year for
"The Brothers Size," is revisiting the realm with "Wig Out!," a play
about drag houses and the incestuous interpersonal dramas leading up
to a do-or-die dance-off.
