🥀⛓️💥 Cell Block Tango ⛓️💥🥀
Chicago, specifically Cell Block Tango from the 2002 movie musical, is what got me into performing. I used to raid my sister’s closet putting on her skirts, heels, dresses, anything that made me feel femme, and perform this number on the coffee table for anyone who would watch. I always dreamed of being in the heels ensemble, performing this number for as long as I can remember. I finally made that dream a reality thanks to Broadway Backwards, Robert Bartley and Danny Whitman. If that little trans kid, who used to dream of one day performing this number as themselves could see me now, I know they would be so proud. Trans performers are here and we are not going anywhere. Thank you Broadway Cares, Rob and Danny for trusting me with this performance and for creating space for trans performers. 🥲🥹❤️
