Mark Nadler And Nicola Gorham Star In TRANSFORMATION As Part Of The Fresh Fruit Festival
The play tells the story of Christine Jorgensen, now considered a trailblazing trans pioneer.
On Dec. 1, 1952, the front page of The New York Daily News carried the headline "EX-GI BECOMES BLONDE BEAUTY". That blonde beauty was CHRISTINE JORGENSEN, now considered a trailblazing trans pioneer.
Upon returning to the U.S. in 1953 after gender-reassignment surgery in Denmark, Christine suddenly found herself the most talked-about personality in America. She was so famous that she couldn't find a job. So...a down-and-out song-and-dance man named MYLES BELL was hired to help her develop a nightclub act.
Award-winning playwright DONALD STEVEN OLSON has created an engaging new musical about Jorgensen's transformation from a shy young woman who couldn't sing or dance into a glamorous and successful nightclub entertainer - and the man who helped her find her voice... literaly.
TRANSFORMATION: The Christine Jorgensen Show makes its world premiere at The Fresh Fruit Festival on Manhattan's Lower East Side for only THREE PERFORMANCES: Thursday, April 27, 6:30pm; Friday, April 28, 8:30pm; Saturday, April 29, 1pm.
Obie-nominated cabaret star Mark Nadler shares the stage with film personality NICOLA GORHAM in this production directed by MICHAEL BLATT about an extraordinary TRANSFORMATION!
