TSQ LIVE + House of Xtravaganza: Love Is Imagination Pride Mini Ball

The House of Xtravaganza and TSQ LIVE are celebrating Pride Month with the Love Is Imagination Pride Mini Ball — a first look at XTRAVAGANZA, a new original musical inspired by the legendary House and Ballroom pioneers, just as tickets go on sale for the show's world premiere engagement at Baltimore Center Stage in May 2027.

The ball’s namesake, "Love Is Imagination," is the first release from the forthcoming XTRAVAGANZA mixtape of original music. Featuring recording artist and legendary Ballroom commentator Kevin Jz Prodigy, the track is now available on SoundCloud.

Founded in 1982, the House of Xtravaganza was the first Latinx Ballroom House and among the first to bring Ballroom culture downtown during the late 1980s, expanding beyond Harlem’s traditional Ball scene.

ABOUT XTRAVAGANZA‍

Before Vogue became a global phenomenon, the Ballroom community that inspired it was already alive with artists, dreamers, underdogs, and chosen families claiming their runway, shaping culture, and changing the world forever.

XTRAVAGANZA is a new original musical inspired by the legendary House of Xtravaganza and Ballroom pioneers including José Xtravaganza, whose style, language, and movement helped create one of the most influential cultural movements of the late twentieth century. As featured performers and choreographers in Madonna's iconic "Vogue" music video and worldwide Blond Ambition Tour, members of the House helped bring the energy and vocabulary of Ballroom to a global audience.

Set in New York City's Ballroom scene of the 1980s and 1990s, the musical follows a community of Black and Latinx artists who created a world of chosen families, beauty, resilience, and radical self-expression in the face of marginalization, discrimination, and the AIDS crisis. Through music, movement, and storytelling, XTRAVAGANZA celebrates the people who built a culture, inspired a movement, and refused to be erased.
