To Wong Foo Thanks for Everything, Julie Newmar is about the adventures of three drag queens that travel cross-country. After winning a major New York drag queen contest, Vida Boheme (Patrick Swayze) and Noxeema Jackson (Wesley Snipes) receive the grand prize of a trip to Hollywood. An inexperienced and depressed drag princess Chi-Chi (John Leguizamo) is persuaded to join them on their trip. Renting an old beat up Cadillac the three set off for Los Angeles. So close but yet so far their car breaks down in the middle of nowhere and with just their charm and fashion sense the three transform the town and everyone who lives there by helping them find themselves.

Notes
Fun, satisfying and hilarious -- Second time around was as good as it was the first time -- Patrick Swayze, Wesley Snipes, and John Leguizamo give fine performances (they dress up well) -- Viewers in the NYC area are fortunately able to see John Leguizamo in multiple roles in a very funny advertisement for one of our local cable companies, Optimum (2017) -- If you don't blink, you may catch Robin Williams, Julie Newmar, RuPaul, and Quentin Crisp (among other notables).
