SUMMARY:Out and Proud: A Rainbow Icon Celebration
DESCRIPTION:Two shows: June 19 and June 20 \nCelebrate Pride with Melissa Young and Nick Sula as they return with Young’s historical hit\, OUT AND PROUD: A Rainbow Celebration. Sixteen years ago\, Young performed the music of the World’s most loved LGBTQ Icon’s to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the Stonewall riots\, June 28\, 1969 and now returns to celebrate the progress our country has made with help from some of her friends! Dan Riley will join Young and Sula this time around. \nStarting with Stonewall and Judy Garland\, Young will follow the LGBTQ++ Rights timeline\, matching Icons to significant moments in history. Dolly Parton’s Light of the Clear Blue Morning in 1977 aligns with Anita Bryant and the S.O.C.\, Bette Midler’s Do You Wanna Dance & Sylvester’s You Make Me Feel aligns with a post Stonewall New York (1971-73) of Bathhouses and Gay owned Discos. The creation of the Pride flag 1979/80 and Diana Ross’ I’m Coming Out! Young’s passion for history and where the movement is today comes across with laughter\, heart and great love. Young’s been seen all around town at Davenports\, Hydrate\, the Park West\, 3160 and Drury Lane Water Tower and out of town at The Dunes Resort\, Don’t Tell Mama in NYC\, The Duplex NYC and The Stonewall Inn. \nThe Den Theatre and comedy club is pleased to host Out and Proud: A Rainbow Icon Celebration on June 19-20\, 2025 at 1331 N. Milwaukee Ave. in Chicago’s Wicker Park neighborhood.
