STARWALKER in the Hollywood Reporter
Payette’s unique narrative structure for Starwalker has him combining a camp and at times dark drag queen aesthetic with uplifting songs and dance typical of popular musicals. “When you’re feeling oppressed and being oppressed, the most rebellious thing you can do is express joy. Because with everything that is holding you down, holding you back, you can get swallowed in that darkness and lose sight of the big picture,” he explains.
