The Christine Jorgensen Show

Original songs propel this hilarious and heartfelt play about living life on your own terms. In the buttoned-up 1950s, an ex-GI became the first transgender celebrity in America. Based on the actual life of Christine Jorgensen, The Christine Jorgensen Show is a feel-good retelling of Jorgensen’s remarkable second act and the cabaret act she developed that transformed her from headline into headliner. Cleveland Play House Artistic Director Michael Barakiva, who helmed the show’s Off-Broadway premiere, brings this wholesome hit to Cleveland for its Midwest premiere.
