Scott Ahearn more than ably doubles as the production's musical director, and he infuses as much energy and style to the musical numbers as he does to his performance as the struggling vocal, dance and personality coach for the titular character.
No, Christine Jorgensen is not Liza Minnelli, but she was and is a fascinating personality, and so is this show reflecting her unique showbiz journey.

While it still provides sufficient representation of the challenges faced by a transgender woman in the 1950s, “The Christine Jorgensen Show” is a heartfelt, funny and blissfully light production that spotlights joy over strife.

The Christine Jorgensen Show, written by Donald Steven Olson and directed by Michael Barakiva, is not a bio-drama for hungry and curious spectators, but a drama that explores the making of one entertainer who uses hidden talent for her advantage during the difficult years of tabloid exposure after her gender confirmation surgery in December 1952.
The show starts in 1963, 10 years after her debut as a night-club performer, with Jorgensen (Augustine Lorrie) speaking to the audience as either a memory-play character or a speaker at one of the national lecture tours she gave in the 1960s.
