Emmy winner Leslie Jordan's one-man show has opened in New York and the New York Times was there. I saw this show in a previous incarnation in Fort Worth a few years ago and laughed until I cried. Then I cried for real. It's hysterically funny but has insights that cut to the bone. Here's a bit from the Times review:
"He describes his voice as Miss Prissy with a dash of Blanche Devereaux, and his gait as Bette Midler in concert meets Ruth Gordon in “Harold and Maude.” 'I am a high school cheerleader stuck in a 55-year-old man’s body,' he confesses. 'If you were to cut me open, Hannah Montana would jump out.'”
I read the book too. Highly recommended.
