ICONS — A Tribute To The Women Who Inspire Me

Where do drag queens come from? Well, it's not exactly snips and snails and puppy dog tails, and it certainly isn't sugar and spice and everything nice. But I do have a pretty good idea. Please join me for my debut cabaret show, ICONS: A Tribute to the Women Who Inspire Me, wherein I will attempt to answer the perplexing conundrum above. At least you will come away knowing where this queen comes from, through tunes made famous by or about many of the most fascinating women from as early as the 30s and right up to today. Directed by the inimitable Lennie Watts, with musical direction by the sublime Rick Jensen. My special guests will be Broadway's Brad Bradley, of Spamalot and Billy Elliott fame, on October 3rd at 7pm and multi-MAC, Bistro and Nightlife winner, Lennie Watts on October 12th at 7pm and the 20th at 4pm. All at The Duplex, 61 Christopher Street. $20 plus a 2-drink minimum. Reservations are strongly suggested and can be made online at www.theduplex.com or by calling 212-255-5438. (MAC and ICNY members get a $5 discount on admission by reserving as such and presenting proof of membership at the door.) I do so hope to see you there! Robin
