As soon as the fashionably late Michael Castellanos '10-stage-named Christian Siriano for the night-snuck in through the open window behind the stage at Cholmondeley's, the awaiting crowd erupted in loud cheers and howls of approval. With rainbow boas aflutter and the disco ball shining bright, Triskelion's annual drag show commenced, featuring a powerhouse lineup of songstresses and divas. After each performance, the competitors were judged by a panel of hesitant, if not a bit frightened members of the Brandeis faculty, who never failed to supply a quick one-liner to the crowd. The tiny coffeehouse itself was stuffed to the brim with audience members, though it quickly became clear that the coffeehouse would not be the only thing that night that was stuffed. First up on the show's lineup was Brandeis' youngest improv-comedy troupe, Crowd Control. Though missing three members, the gender-bending foursome managed to draw an excited reaction from the crowd after a dazzlingly choreographed rendition of Lou Christie's "Lightnin' Strikes." One member, the tall blonde bombshell, was a particular fan favorite, shimmying and swaying to the old-school beats in a sassy green tunic-and-leggings combination that rivaled that of the most elite Hollywood socialites. Rumer Willis, watch yourself.

Following the comedy troupe was an unannounced and unexpected performance by Company B, one of Brandeis' a cappella groups. The members delivered three lively songs, including the Eagles' "Witchy Woman," while exchanging seductive and, more often than not, unsettling stares with the audience.

Next came the members of parody band A Cock of Seagulls (Rachel Friedman and Mandy Schwartz), who supplied an energetic interpretive dance to "I Ran," a hit by the 1980s band sharing a similar name and hairstyle. Armed with impressively tight leather pants and some vintage sweaters, the dancing duo made sure that the whole crowd truly felt the need to run so far away.

Following up that act was difficult, but Kristy Yamacoochie (Jessica Stern '09), Audrey Wetburn (Scott Frost '10) and Margaret Snatcher (Jacob Lazar '09) proved to be up to the task with their equally enthusiastic routine. The star-studded trio performed "The Penis Song" from 2002's The Sweetest Thing, a thrilling, educational dive into the fascinating world of the male member. Each member was in full-on glam mode, ready to strike a pose at any time. Right before the act, someone from the audience shouted, "Marry me!"

Wetburn shot a look back and quipped, "No federal benefits," before launching into song. It was a moment that no doubt secured the third-place win.

Aladdin (Sam Spence '11) and Jasmine (Noam Sienna '11) also graced the stage to perform their soul-searching classic "A Whole New World" atop a magical carpet topped with white cotton-ball clouds. Though Jasmine was faced with a potentially crippling wardrobe malfunction midsong, she kept her composure and managed to nab the second-place title at the night's end. A whole new world, indeed.

And, of course, what would a night of performance be without the presence of the one and only Celine Dion (Matt Shear '11)? With the aid of three dancers, Celine, in a seductive red and white dress and blood-red lipstick, delivered an uncharacteristically baritone rendition of her 1997 classic "My Heart Will Go On." While a few of the dancers may have attempted to steal the spotlight one or 10 times, it was Celine who managed to bring the house down with her trademark riffing at the song's end.

But out of all of the performances of the night, it was Kylie Minogue (Michael Castellano), suited in Fever-era metallic spandex leggings and a hot pink top that truly brought the show to a higher level. With a tension-building opening countdown from her epic tune "Light Years," Kylie vogued her way through before launching into her classic "Can't Get You Out Of My Head." The place went wild as the judges tabulated their scores at the end of the performance, though the sounds of the crowd confirmed what was already obvious-the dancing diva was crowned queen of the night. Upon the show's closing, there was little doubt that the show was worthy of the Christian Siriano seal of approval: fierce, fabulous and damn near flawless.
