"I couldn't have dreamed up anything more fun."
Lucky Bar owner Matt Edmonds said Scream Queens Halloween will be a great show and he's looking forward to it.
"We are really happy to support Julie's initiative and this show will be a first for us.
"We have hosted very successful drag events but they were parties whereas this will be a full-on musical theatre event and I predict that people will love it."
Anita Wigl'it is said to have all the razzle-dazzle of a classic vintage showgirl and Kita Mean is known for her comic timing matched with outrageous quips.
"I am extremely excited to have celebrity queens heading to our region - this will really make our local Halloween celebrations something special," Sandbrook said.
"This drag and Halloween combination really opens up costume possibilities - drag, Halloween or 'Dragoween' - your imagination is the limit.
"There will a prize of a $50 bar tab for best dressed."
Sandbrook launched her Whanganui-based business Lex Events NZ this year with the intention of providing entertainment that is on a par with that on offer in the main centres.
Picking up on a need for more entertainment in Whanganui and Manawatu, Sandbrook started sounding out venue owners.
"I got the sense that there are quite a lot of people in their 20s to 40s who enjoy living here but want more night-time entertainment."
Her first event was the Spring Masquerade held at Frank Bar + Eatery in September and she has plenty more ideas in the pipeline, she says.
Scream Queens Halloween: Lucky Bar + Kitchen, 53 Wilson St, Friday, November 1 from 9pm. Tickets $30 from Eventbrite.
