Christine Jorgensen Reveals
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Christine Jorgensen Reveals is a 2005 American theatrical show that depicts the 1957 one-hour interview of Christine Jorgensen by Nipsey Russell. This was billed as her "only recorded interview",[1][2] though she had actually participated in recorded interviews with Tom Snyder, Dick Cavett, Joe Pyne, and others.[not verified in body] The show begins with a brief documentary. Then, Jorgensen's entire interview is lip synched by the two actors. The show received a generally positive critical response and earned the 2006 Drama Desk Award for Unique Theatrical Experience. It has been mounted several times since its 2005 Off-Broadway production.
