Ray Romano of Sirius Satellite Radio said, “'ICONS' is a triumph!” The

Columbus Dispatch raves, “Compelling-Broadway-Caliber!”  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 in New York. 

     Estrada, 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, Michelangelo, Oscar Wilde, Gertrude Stein, Sylvia Rivera and Ellen DeGeneres with amazing clarity through monolog, song and dance. The show is witty, charming, and very entertaining.
