Week two of Clash of the Titans All Stars at The Menagerie took the competition back to the 1980’s. The same cast from opening week returned to the stage, each hungry for points in the six-week battle for the $1,500 grand prize. The lineup once again featured Bubblegum, Kelly K Doll, Veronica S. Halston, Sá Hara, Melody Sings Facade Miller, Diva Dean, and Amiyah Bratt.

To open the night, Diva Dean hit the stage with Taylor Dayne’s “Tell It to My Heart,” a high-energy number that set the perfect tone for the 80’s theme. Melody Sings Facade Miller followed with a clever performance of ABBA’s “The Winner Takes It All.” Fresh off her victory from Week 1, she leaned into her champion status by repeating the line “I don’t want to talk” while soaking in the applause, before tearing off her robe to reveal a new look and powering through the rest of the song. The act felt like a direct nod to her success, playing into her momentum from the week prior.

Amiyah Bratt then stormed the stage channeling an 80’s rock legend. With an electric guitar in hand and hair whipping, she performed back-to-back Joan Jett classics that had the crowd roaring. Bubblegum completely flipped the mood by emerging in a full Care Bears suit and performing “Mad World” by Tears for Fears with a dark twist, even ripping out stuffing mid-act.

Kelly K Doll, Sá Hara, and Veronica S. Halston kept the energy surging until it was time to reveal the night’s top two. Veronica and Sá Hara advanced to the final round, while the rest of the queens stayed on stage for a mini game. Each was tasked with naming as many films as possible from a random 80’s actor. The crowd fueled the moment with cheers, groans, and laughter. Diva Dean came out on top, winning the chance to select next week’s theme, choosing Celebrity Impersonation.

Meanwhile, Veronica and Sá Hara had just seven minutes to change costumes and prepare brand-new performances. Both returned with looks and numbers that stunned the room. The decision was close, but in the end, Veronica S. Halston claimed the Week 2 crown. Clash of the Titans All Stars returns next Wednesday at The Menagerie with Celebrity Impersonation night. Entry is free, but arrive early to secure a spot.
