"Much like Hell’s Kitchen I am always up for a challenge and a change and to be appearing off-Broadway in a play is something I don’t think I could’ve imagined 10 years ago when I first moved into this neighborhood, but here I am and I feel more connected to it than ever."

Darius Rose wasn't born in Hell’s Kitchen, but his alter ego Jackie Cox was. Darius quit and ran away to the circus to pursue Drag full-time!

"My life in some ways is very similar to Kenny’s. I started drag at a pretty young age, in my twenties. And I’ve performed in a lot of the places that Kenny Marlowe performed in, a lot in the Midwest.... So it’s kind of fun to retrace those steps, but in a historical way." - Darius Rose aka Jackie Cox
