Plot
'We Three Queens' centers around Cosmos, a successful all-girls rock band from the 1980's consisting of Amanda 'Javelin' Ramey, Dee-Dee 'Comet' Boone and Verna 'Goldstar' Marona. Once thought of as the greatest group in the history of recorded music, the girls now find themselves going through an assortment of mid-life crises.

Amanda is now a Jesus-freak coming to terms with the recent news that her son, Jack, is gay. Jack, whom she artificially conceived with popular actor/musician Jim Nabors, is home from college and decides to spring the news on his fragile mother. Dee-Dee, after an unsuccessful solo career, has fallen on hard times and now works at the local K-Mart and lives in a small apartment with her more, Ore-Ida, a former showgirl. And Verna now performs in a group called Fluid with her sexually active sister, Anita, and their dim-witted sister, Becky Grace.

When Cosmos' former manager, Chazz, attempts to reunite the girls for a reunion, all of their glory days and dreams of stardom re-surface and the girls from Cosmos come together for one more amazing performance.
