Ginger Minj, star of RuPaul’s Drag Race is set to appear in Disney+’s highly-anticipated Hocus Pocus sequel Hocus Pocus 2 and the details are fabulous.
According to Entertainment Weekly, Minj filmed some scenes in November, while the production was shooting in Rhode Island. The sequence features three queens portraying impersonations of the Sanderson Sisters at a drag show. Minj is portaying Bette Midler’s Winifred Sanderson. Later, the real Sanderson Sisters (Midler’s Winifred, Sarah Jessica Parker as Sarah, and Kathy Najimy as Mary) show up to the performance, and spectacular things ensue.
