The performance will be held at IAO Performance Gallery located at 811 N. Broadway in downtown Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. The event is wheelchair accessible and appropriate for ages 13 and up.

What do biblical Naomi, King James, Miss Bessie, Greg and Mary all have in common? They’re all coming to Oklahoma City – at the same time.
Religion. Revision. Music. Sports. Privilege. ICONS: The Lesbian and Gay History of the World, Vol. 3 debuted in September 2006 at the Columbus National Gay and Lesbian Theatre Festival in Columbus, Ohio and won the awards for Best Solo Performance and Best Original Music. In the last segment of the trilogy, Estrada takes on the roles of biblical Naomi, King James, Bessie Smith, Greg Louganis and Mary Cheney, the lesbian daughter of U.S. Vice-President Dick Cheney.
Estrada performed his solo show “Gay Christian, Gay Muslim, Gay Jew” at the IAO Performance Gallery in February 2007 and performed his Latin comedy “Tortilla Heaven” at the Latino Community Center in May 2005. This is Estrada’s third visit to OKC. The comedian will play Tulsa May 9-10 at the Nightingale Theatre.
Estrada is the host of the 19th Annual GLAAD Media Awards which will air on Bravo TV in June 2008.
“Jade Esteban Estrada told the truth about homosexuals in history last night with a voice fit for Broadway,” raves Dana Freeman of the Bowling Green News.
Out Magazine christened him “the first gay Latin star.” The Oklahoma Gazette calls him “a prominent and controversial gay Latin performer.”
"I've seen Jade Esteban on stage four times before, but when I saw him portraying Mary Cheney, I realized he wasn't only celebrating gay icons. He was using irony to tell us that not all of our gay icons are people that we love or respect. It was incredibly clever," stated Thaddius Novack, Creative Director of Jersey City Lesbian and Gay Outreach.
"'ICONS' is part history lesson, part musical, part politics and All entertainment," states Jennifer Chung of the San Diego Daily Transcript. Tom Sime of the Dallas Morning News calls it, "funny and irreverent…a feel-good session for gay people."
“ICONS 3 is fantastic,” said Eric Crumrine, president of the LGBT student group VISION at Bowling Green State University in Bowling Green, Ohio. “It was a great opportunity for us to have Mr. Estrada complete his ICONS trilogy with us.”
