ICONS: Gay & Lesbian History of the World: Vol 1
A Review by Brie Austin
Ray
Romano of Sirius Satellite Radio said, “ICONS is a
triumph!” The Columbus Dispatch raves, “Compelling-Broadway-Calibur!”
I attended the one-man show “ICONS: The Lesbian &
gay History of the World, VOL 1, written and performed by Jade
Esteban Estrada and directed by Jeff Willis, for their third
production at the Pantheon Theatre here in NYC.
Jade,
who released a dance album ANGEL in 2001, has performed is 28
countries and speaks 7 languages, is a playwright, singer,
director, choreographer, and spokesman for the Human Rights
Campaign. He won the 2002 Premio Estella from LLEGO in Washington
D.C. for worldwide excellence and visibility in the entertainment
industry as a gay Latin artist.
His
striking good looks and powerful voice fill the stage, and his
versatility allows him to transform between male and female as he
portrays Sappho, Michael Angelo, Oscar Wilde, Gertrude Stein,
Sylvia Rivera and Ellen DeGeneres with amazing clarity through
monolog, song and dance. Though the show may not be quite ready
for Broadway, it is witty, charming, and entertaining. MORE INFO:
