Plastique Tiara, one of the most popular drag performers on social media, was a fan favorite, too, when she appeared in the most recent season of “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” She is now among the stars of “RuPaul’s Drag Race: Werq the World Tour 2019,” which plays Foxwoods Resort and Casino on Oct. 25. Others featured in the touring show are Asia O’Hara, Aquaria, Detox, Monet Exchange, Naomi Smalls, Violet Chachki and season winner Yvie Oddly.
