The Christine Jorgensen Show

Set in New York City and Pittsburgh in 1953, the inspiring play with music follows the real-life professional and personal relationship between actress-singer Christine Jorgensen, the first transgender individual to become widely known in America, and forgotten songwriter, dancer and pianist Myles Bell.

With a heartwarming book and witty songs, Jesse James Keitel (Jorgensen) and Mark Nadler (Bell) tell a story about two entertainers at different stages of their careers putting together a nightclub act. In the process, a powerful story emerges about being courageous enough to follow your dreams, listen to your heart and embrace your authentic self.
