Flotilla DeBarge is out of the slammer and back on the stage.
Even in male garb, statuesque drag diva Flotilla DeBarge is a commanding presence. With perfectly tweezed eyebrows, a fetching blue felt hat and dark overcoat, DeBarge cuts quite a figure in a modest Upper West Side diner. She has come to chat with TONY about her new solo show, Flotilla DeBarge: Freshly Released—Black, Blessed & Free, and is reluctant, at times, to divulge too much. That’s surprising for this performer, who gleefully sent up Star Jones in a PETA antifur campaign and who routinely slays audiences with her “signiggature” songs and politically charged monologues.
