Daniel Nardicio has announced an all-star line-up for his 2nd Annual Icon Series in Cherry Grove Fire Island.

Last year, many will remember, Nardicio made gay history when he put together actor Alan Cumming and icon Liza Minnelli for a sold out 2 show evening on Fire Island, which then translated to two nights at NYC's Historic Town Hall this Spring.

This year Nardicio has a cavalcade of shows by performers such as demented drag star Dina Martina (May 26th), filmaker John Waters in his solo show "This Filthy World" (July 20th) Lynda Carter in a Won(der) Woman Show (August 3rd) and two time Tony Winner and Presidential Medal of Honor Recipient Chita Rivera in a full length show called Chita: A Legendary Celebration (Aug 17th). Possibly the ultimate weekend will be Nardicio's pairing of cabaret sensation Justin VivIan Bond and legend Carol Channing in an evening entitled: Gentlemen Prefer Blondes: an Intimate Evening with Carol Channing and Justin VivIan Bond. Channing, who is now 92, will be discussing her 70+ years in show business, with Bond moderating. In addition Bond will perform a selection from her long career in cabaret.

Additional performers Nardicio has in store are Paula Poundstone (June 29th), Bridget Everett (July 27th), Bruce Vilanch in his one-man show Almost Famous (July 6th), Margaret Cho (July 13th- 2 shows) and finishing off the season will be Lorna Luft (August 31st) in her show: "Songs My Mother Taught Me".

Tickets are available at Nardicio's Website www.Dworld.us and all showtimes are 8pm. Doors open at 6:30pm. In addition there is a season pass available for shows as well.
