Darcel I don’t know you personally but I wish I did, especially after watching this. I am a Broadway performer and I performed with The Lion King production on Broadway and the National Touring companies for over 10 years & i must say your reinterpretation was pure MAGIC! I’m sure many of my former and the current cast members and our director Julie Taymor would find so much joy in this. Thanks for the homage to the Broadway community, Thank you & best of luck with your beautiful career.

I am shook!!!! Ms. Darcel brought mini Broadway to the Barton Lounge and brought magic. I was crying a little bit because the opening of the Lion King is my favorite. Congratulations Ms. Darcel you absolutely deserved it💖💖💖💖

SHE CAME WITH HER A-GAME ON 100 SHE KNEW IT TOOK ALL THIS TO GET TO THE TOP TO WIN THIS TITLE

Honestly the level of professionalism, the vision, the choreography, the COSTUMES!! This is on another level

This is simply the best performance in drag pageant history in my opinion

When you use $5000.00 in costumes and a staff of 20 you mean business. A great production.

actually brought me to tears...JUST WOW miss Darcel....

This PRODUCTION of the Broadway play was absolutely phenomenal. This had me in tears. Such perfection. Bow Down Bytches Bow Down. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’ve watched this several times. And I can’t express with words. How moved I am. This is the epitome of creativity!!!! (DS) did not come to play!! Shook up the whole talent category.. I feel sorry for whoever came after her.

This talent would win ANYWHERE!!!

I swear everytime I watch this performance, it stirs up my emotions. I can't stop crying. #DarcelStevens and cast did a remarkable performance❗ Bless you all! So talented!!!! 🙏💕😘
