Christine Jorgensen Reveals
''Christine Jorgensen Reveals'' is a theatrical show that depicts the 1957 one-hour interview of Christine Jorgensen by Nipsey Russell. This was her only recorded interview.〔Nesti, Robert. ("Bradford Louryk Revealed" ). Edge Publications, Inc., April 4, 2006, accessed July 8, 2011〕 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.
==Background==
At the time of the interview, Jorgensen, the first celebrity transsexual, was considered to be the most famous woman in the world, according to critics from ''The Guardian'' and Broadwayworld.com and one of the most famous according to other sources, such as ''The New York Times''.〔〔〔〔 On December 1, 1952, the ''New York Daily News'' ran a front-page story of her operation, and her February 12, 1953, return to the United States at Idlewild Airport was the largest press gathering in history to that date.〔 In 1952, she had gone to Denmark to have sex reassignment surgery and hormone treatment to change sexes at a Copenhagen hospital. In the 1957, the interview of Jorgensen by comedian Nipsy Russell was produced as a LP record.〔
Bradford Louryk stumbled across the LP in a used record store.〔 He recalled, "there she was in that green dress on this great cover, which made me want to pick it up. And written on the cover were all these leading questions, like 'is she a woman?' 'can she have children?' and things like that."〔 He created the show and finally got it produced a few years later.〔
