The Mainstage

Sign in to edit

The Mainstage is one of the most essential parts of Drag Race, with the runways, critiques, lip sync performances and most of the main challenges taking place on it.

Overall Appearance[]

The Mainstages in most of the Drag Race editions follow the same concept, consisting of a runway and a judges' panel in front of it. The runways have a large wall in the back with lights that usually change colors or showcase projections. The wall also has an arch in the middle where the host and the contestants enter and leave the stage. Every runway has a lowered part where the safe contestants stand after receiving critiques. Usually in a T-shape, the overall size, shape and design of the runway varies across seasons and editions.

The judges' panel is then facing the runway, usually placed towards the left side. It consists of a desk where the judges sit at as well as a backdrop that varies across seasons and editions. Additionally, some mainstages have a sitting area on the bottom at the left side of the runway where the contestants can sit for special occasions, such as the Talent Show.

Challenges[]

Since Design, Balls, and Makeover are runway challenges, they take place on the mainstage with the main part of the challenge being the contestants showcasing their looks. The Mainstage is also suitable for performing and, therefore, some Dance, Singing and Rusical challenges take place on there.
