Will 4 year olds gets the " irony?" I think they will see big ladies in sparkly dresses and will sense that the adults around them are amused but they will not understand why. This program is inappropriate.
But that is interesting about the beards. We have very traditional drag queen performers here in Hicksville, FlyOverland. They have no beards.
When I drill down to my feelings about this, maybe the problem is that I am just jealous! Jealous of the four-year-old children!I would like drag queens to give me a program!
The ironic feminist part of drag queenery is, as someone famous once said of women "We are all female impersonators."
Yes. At least on a level appropriate for a 4 year old. They will likely think it's a guy dressed up in a costume. And if they don't figure it out than maybe the adult should point it out to them so they can be in on the joke.
There's a solution to that!

How fortunate we are to have such professionals to supervise the shaping of young minds.
Just this morning, I was reading of that courageous elementary school librarian who rejected the First Lady's foul donation of Doctor Seuss books, instructing her that "Doctor Seuss's illustrations are steeped in racist propaganda, caricatures and harmful stereotypes". She also gave her a stern talking-to about Betsy DeVos. Sure, the suits in the School Board counseled her for exceeding her authority and violating some ridiculous "policy against using public resources for political purposes", but she had to protect innocent children from that rhyming filth!
As long as the reader is not wearing anything revealing or behaving in risque ways, then who cares?
When I was a kid I liked Culture Club, Alice Cooper, David Bowie, Queen, and other gender-bending musicians. Never bothered me.
If I was a parent and the book the drag queen was reading looked like a good book, like the Golden Compass or some such, then I'd take the kid to hear the reading.
And I would say: "In America we're quite free. So some people are drag queens and some people are squares and some are magicians and some are mechanics."
