Mark your calendars for Saturday, October 24, and Sunday, October 25 at The Green Room 42, where the new concert will make its NYC debut.

​

Icons Only is a 3-person, 90-minute cabaret examining the lives of multiple extraordinary women of the 20th century and beyond, through the lens of musical theater songwriting. Each song takes the perspective of a different changemaker on the verge of her biggest breakthrough—which, at the time at which the song was sung, could also be her biggest future failure—to unearth unexpected similarities across different generations of boundary-breakers. 

 

The piece explores cultural influences ranging from Ella Fitzgerald, whose international success broke the boundaries for performers of color and exploded stereotypes about the appetite for jazz; to Aubrey Hepburn, who served as a spy in the Dutch resistance before becoming an award-winning actress and humanitarian; record-breaking pilot Grace Huntington; boundary-pushing Disney concept artist Mary Blair; and even characters inspired by multiple figures in the women-dominated pop sphere of the 2000s from the musical Crossover (Name to Philadelphia Inquirer's "Theater to See this Week"). 

 

With songs that range in style from Latin jazz to rock, bossa nova, country, and more, Icons Only reveals untold stories of women unknown and revered alike to put audience members in their (often fabulous) shoes.
