Valentina, who rose to prominence in the ninth season of RuPaul’s Drag Race is set to star in Fox’s live adaption of the beloved Broadway musical Rent, and a press release for the live TV event has revealed that she will also be partaking in All Stars 4.
The queen will star as Angel Dumott Schunard in the musical and will be joined by stars such as Vanessa Hudgens and Tinashe, but fans are probably more excited about the Drag Race revelation.
Speaking about the All Stars cast earlier this month at DragCon, RuPaul told a panel, “I can’t tell you exactly when it will be [All Stars 4], but it’s gonna be sooner than you think.” Well, it seems that the cast is being revealed before even RuPaul herself thinks.
While fans are buzzed about the revelation, we are still left to speculate about the other queens who have been rumoured to compete in All Stars 4.
