I’ve Seen ‘RuPaul’s Drag Race’ Live a Number of Times, and the Experience Is Indescribable

There are very few reality shows that give you full access to the stars you see on screen, outside in the real world. Yes, you can watch someone like Kelly Clarkson or Carrie Underwood win American Idol and then have the chance to see them live in concert. But that's about where it stops. There may be an occasional meet-and-greet, but it's not all-access as some fans would dream of experiencing. Certainly, other reality show contestants continue to work in the performance industry following their stint on the talent competition shows, but it's often on their own. That sense of community and chosen family isn't there. Not like this show.
