Nymphia Wind’s BANANAS?

The Town Hall proudly presents Nymphia Wind in BANANAS? on Thursday, June 26 at 7:00PM. Having just recently completed her reign as Season 16’s RuPaul’s Drag Race winner, Nymphia is bringing her experience as “America’s Next Drag Superstar” and as a Taiwanese cultural ambassador to The Town Hall’s stage to celebrate this year’s PRIDE. BANANAS? is an all new show and mark’s Nymphia’s NYC debut.

BANANAS? is a bombastic one-woman show that will stun drag, theatre, and performance art audiences alike. For one night only, Nymphia, aka the “Banana Buddha,” will transform the Town Hall stage into a portal to her chaotic mind. Part drag, part fashion, and part performance art, BANANAS? is a reflection of Nymphia’s inner journey over this last history-making year of her life. Exploding with references to her most enduring artistic influences, from Peking Opera to FKA Twigs to Marina Abramović, Nymphia explores life, death, rebirth, and all things yellow, with her signature sartorial wit and irreverent joy.

The Town Hall invites the audience to wear yellow or Nymphia Wind-inspired drag for the “yellow carpet” experience both in and outside of the hall.

Nymphia Wind’s BANANAS? is the final performance of The Town Hall’s presenting season, which has included programs with the Philip Glass Ensemble, Faith Evans, Stephen Colbert, Judy Collins, Yoko Kanno, Disney and Pixar’s Coco, Ken Burns’s Leonardo, and more.

Tickets for BANANAS? begin at $45, and are available at www.TheTownHall.org or by visiting the box office at 123 W. 43rd Street. VIP packages include an exclusive Meet and Greet with Nymphia Wind and are also available

ABOUT NYMPHIA WINDBananas, Beauty, and a Whole Lotta Wind — Bow Down to Nymphia.

Born from chaos and couture, Nymphia Wind twirled her way into the hearts of millions as the first Taiwanese queen to snatch the crown on RuPaul’s Drag Race. Known for her surreal, high-fashion drag, unmatched artistic vision, and iconic love of bananas, Nymphia doesn’t just bring the drama — she is the storm.

A walking dream of whimsy, wit, and world-class performance, Nymphia is more than a drag superstar — she’s a cultural force, redefining what it means to be an international drag icon. From Taipei to Times Square, her message is loud and clear: embrace the absurd, wear your weird like a crown, and never underestimate the power of Wind

Town Hall has played an integral part in the electrifying cultural fabric of New York City for more than 100 years. A group of Suffragists’ fight for the 19th Amendment led them to build a meeting space to educate people on the important issues of the day. During its construction, the 19th Amendment was passed, and on January 12, 1921 The Town Hall opened its doors and took on a double meaning: as a symbol of the victory sought by its founders, and as a spark for a new, more optimistic climate. In 1921, German composer Richard Strauss performed a series of concerts that cemented the Hall’s reputation as an ideal venue for musical performances. Since, Town Hall has been home to countless musical milestones: The US debuts of Strauss, and Isaac Stern; Marian Anderson’s first New York recital; in 1945, Dizzy Gillespie and Charlie Parker introduced bebop to the world; Bob Dylan’s first major concert in ’63; and much, much more.
