Jade Esteban Estrada stars in an amazing tour-de-force of lesbian and gay

historic characters in his ICONS: The Lesbian and Gay History of the World, Vol. 1. 

     This one-man show is an extraordinary journey through gay and lesbian culture, using characters that, in some way, have changed the way gay and lesbian people have lived in this world. Before the audience’s very eyes, he switches characters with a quick change of a wig, costume and complete physical presence, making history come alive through monologue and song. He takes you on an emotional roller coaster from laughing out loud to poignant silence as the character and audience become aware of the realities of living a gay life within a non-gay world. 

     Estrada frequently leaves the stage and interacts with the audience members in character to truly allow the spectators to connect with history. As a good live performer should be, he is quick to pull his fans into the show. He is a very likable personality on stage, with a beautiful voice and brilliant physical understanding of his characters.

     Estrada brings his ICONS: The Lesbian and Gay History of the World, Vol. 2 to Nashville this Thursday, at Club Blu. Show times are 7:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. Be there and ready for a theatrical journey through history as Estrada tackles a whole new series of historical characters through songs, laughter and tears.
