The encore production of Ben Bogen's debut solo show got a special jolt of excitement this week.
In December Broadway and Broadway Tour-er Ben Bogen debuted his solo nightclub act in Manhattan. The theatrical rock and roll show told the story of the LGBTQIA+ activist and leader's journey toward living in the light. A queer male who embraces his queer-ness in ways that Natalie Douglas embraces her black heritage and Ari Axelrod celebrates Judaism, Mr. Bogen has created a club act that could and should play venues around the world, including LGBTQ centers, colleges, and High Schools, because it is a perfect representation of how great an authentic life can be.
And what could be gayer than getting a bona fide diva and gay icon to sing some Whitney Houston with you? Um... nothing.
