Characters in male drama dancing like some queens? (9)
I believe the answer is:
marmalade
'like some queens?' is the definition.
(a queen - female cat - might be marmalade-coloured)
'characters in male drama' is the wordplay.
'characters in' indicates an anagram.
'male'+'drama'='maledrama'
'maledrama' is an anagram of 'MARMALADE'.
'dancing' acts as a link.
This may not be right. It may be part of another bit of the clue.
(Other definitions for marmalade that I've seen before include "Orange jam" , "group?" , "Sweet food" , "Breakfast preserve" , "confiture" .)
