Candis
Cayne - Drag Performer
Candis Cayne
Candis Cayne burst on-stage
in the mid nineties with a high kick at Boy Bar, the east
village weekly, where high production met tight choreography
in a winning formula. The leggy Hawaiian raised Cayne
rose quickly through the ranks and was soon enjoying star
status, helped by her years of dance training and her
sex kitten presence. Candis has staged ever more complex
production numbers at Wigstock and other large scale events
in NYC and around the globe, often involving dozens of
background dancers and weeks of rehearsal.
Candis helped Kenny Ortega choreograph Too Wong Fu, and
she choreographed Stonewall. She was also in Mob Queen
with David Proval and Tony Serico, famed for their roles
on Sopranos, she was featured in Wigstock the movie, and
Dragtime on HBO. She has been in many commercials, videos,
television shows, and print ads. In 2001, she won the
coveted title of Miss Continental, an annual talent and
beauty contest held in Chicago, which is the biggest and
most exclusive trangendered pageant in the country.
She does a weekly one-woman
show in NYC combining dance, voice, and comedy to make
an original and exhilarating entertainment experience,
and was singled out by the New York Times as a must see
show. Her main drive now is focusing on her pilots, working
on her television career, and representing the trangendered
community in a positive light.
