Heklina, who played Dorothy Zbornak since the iteration of the production in 2006, passed away in April of this year. The cast and crew are honored to announce the legendary Coco Peru will be stepping in to perform as Dorothy in this year’s run!
“Losing Heklina was a huge blow to the community and to myself”, says Drollinger. “She was my producing partner and a friend for over thirty years. We had all decided years ago that this show was too important to ever let go. In the spirit of keep the show and Heklina’s legacy alive; and after much consideration, we asked Coco Peru to join the cast. I was thrilled when she said yes.”
"Although her shoes can never be filled, I'm honored to step in for my good friend and drag sister, Heklina, in the role of Dorothy Zbornak,” Says Coco. “I believe with all my heart that Heklina would give me her blessing, and then call me a "cu*t!”
