Get ready for a dazzling mix of lights, sequins, and family drama as “RuPaul’s Drag Race” Season 18, Episode 9 brings the stage to life with the “Fannie: The Hard Knock Ball” Rusical. Hosts Jason Cerin and Brian Faas of “Werk Room Weekly” delve into the queens’ spectacular performances, drawing inspiration from the beloved musical “Annie” and the vibrant culture of New York City’s ballrooms. This week’s guest judge, renowned record producer Benny Blanco, joins the panel to offer his expert insights.

On the runway, the queens rise to the occasion in the “Beige Against The Machine” category, proving that neutral tones can be anything but boring. Yet, the episode’s emotional highlight unfolds when Athena Dion and Juicy Love Dion, a real-life mother-daughter duo, engage in a historic first—an emotional lip sync battle to “Call Me When You Break Up.” Their performance captures a rollercoaster of love, tension, and heartfelt tears, leaving a lasting impression.
