Bleecker Street and World of Wonder announced Tuesday that tickets are now on sale for their upcoming satirical comedy feature film, Stop! That! Train! scheduled for a nationwide theatrical release on June 12.
Directed by filmmaker Adam Shankman, known for his work on “Hairspray,” and produced by the executive team behind the reality television franchise “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” Screenwriters Christina Friel and Connor Wright penned the camp-inspired script, which features an ensemble cast led by media personality RuPaul.
The narrative centers on Tess and DeeDee, portrayed by veteran stage performers Ginger Minj and Jujubee, two working-class rail stewardesses who transition from their routine shifts on a municipal line to employment aboard a luxury high-speed transport named the Glamazonian Express. The plot escalates when a severe weather anomaly, dubbed the “Stormaganza,” threatens to derail the transit vehicle as it barrels toward the Los Angeles metropolitan area.

To avert a catastrophic collision, the coach-class protagonists must negotiate an alliance with a rival faction of first-class attendants, played by drag artists Symone, Brooke Lynn Hytes, and Marcia Marcia Marcia. RuPaul anchors the political subplot of the disaster parody as a fictional head of state, President Gagwell.
The film’s supporting cast includes the perfect storm of comedic actors, television personalities, and character performers, including Latrice Royale, Monét X Change, Rachel Bloom, Matt Rogers, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Michelle Visage, Chris Parnell, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Charo, Brian Jordan Alvarez, Natasha Leggero, Drew Droege, Raven-Symoné, and Joel McHale.
