These awards are for Genecco's jazz/musical creation, DRUNK WITH LOVE: A TRIBUTE TO Frances Faye and DRUNK WITH LOVE:THE SEQUEL! in which Genecco paid tribute to the spirit, sound, and style of Frances Faye, the 1950's bi-sexual, nightclub icon. She won the debut vocalist category and the overall "Entertainer of the Year" award at the San Francisco Bay Area Cabaret Competition.
Lea Delaria has distinguished herself in almost every form of entertainment,musician, singer, Broadway actor, writer and standup comic. Lea's greatest desire was to hold a Broadway audience captive. Her dream came to fruition in 1997 with The Public Theater's revival of ON THE TOWN where she played Hildy and stopped the show 8 times a week. Lea received Obie, Drama Desk, Theater World and Fanny Awards. She became a Drama League Honoree and the recipient of the most notorious snub of recent Tony history. The notoriety pushed Lea into the limelight of the New York theater scene, making her one of the few openly gay actors to cross boundaries playing straight ( Hildy-ON THE TOWN, Broadway / Cinder-LITTLE FISH, off Broadway / Winnie-Happy Days, off Broadway ); gay ( Mama Morton- CHICAGO, National Tour / Jane-THE MOST FABULOUS STORY EVER TOLD, off Broadway, a role written especially for her by Paul Rudnik); and even portraying men! (Eddie and Dr. Scott-THE ROCKY HORROR SHOW, Broadway.
