THE KINSEY SICKS combine rich, four-part harmony, biting satire and over-the-top drag. In "EACH HIT & I," the girls treat us to an evening of politics, personal revelations, social critique, sexual foibles and plain old raunch - all in glorious four-part harmony. THE KINSEY SICKS, America's Favorite Dragapella Beautyshop Quartet, assault all the senses in their brand new musical show.

Meet the girls Ben Schatz ("Rachel"), a Harvard-trained civil rights lawyer, former Director of the national Gay and Lesbian Medical Association, and one-time presidential advisor on HIV issues. Irwin Keller ("Winnie") is a University of Chicago-trained lawyer and linguist and former director of the AIDS Legal Referral Panel of the San Francisco Bay Area. Actor/singer/designer Jeff Manabat, who is responsible for Trixie's inordinate glamour and soaring counter-tenor, as well as the entire group's hot couture. Spencer Brown ("Trampolina"), a Kansas City-based actor and singer, already known for his drag character Daisy Buckët (pronounced, of course, "bouquet").
