    May 15-27, PS 122, 150 1st Ave. (betw. E. 9th & E.10th Sts.), 212- 477-5829; 8, $20.

     

    Vaginal Davis, who used to jam with Beck’s mom in a band called Black Fag and later jammed with Beck (just to give you an idea of how long her appeal has lasted), relives her greatest moments, dissects them and tucks them back in with this homage to daytime television talk shows of yore. Of course, this being now, there will be Skype involved. Davis is as electric a performer as ever was and since she now lives in Berlin, this chance should not be missed.

    Bottom Line: A not-socommon chance to see a truly and rightfully iconic black drag queen singer.
