ABOUT THE FILM
LONG SYNOPSIS
Sheldon Larry’s audacious, raunchy and big-hearted musical—with songs by Beyoncé music director Kim Burse and choregraphy by Beyoncé dance master Frank Gatson Jr. —takes us into the fabulously funky world of voguing. (Remember the documentary “Paris is Burning”?) Here the setting is contemporary downtown L.A. Our hunky, homeless hero Brad, discarded by his homophobic mom, falls in with the members of The House of Eminence, ruled by the stern aging diva Queef Latina, who keeps a careful, loving watch over her makeshift family of runaways and throwaways. When two of her crew fall for Brad, the Queef is royally unamused. High flying and low down, LEAVE IT ON THE FLOOR is a one of a kind celebration—a gay African American musical about finding your true family.
