Jonathan Hawkins brings Broadway to Wilton Manors on Monday, October 6, at 7 p.m. in a two-hour entertainment experience in the Epic Theater of the Manor Complex. Hawkins, who originally hails from Oregon, and has a local connection (his boyfriend lives in Wilton Manors), is an operatically trained singer with a fan-base in musical theater.

He just spent the summer performing his one-man show in Provincetown at the legendary Crown & Anchor Paramount Nightclub where he joined Kevin Aviance, before Hawkins headed to Europe on tour with his music.

“I came from a very conservative musical family and went to a private Christian college, so when I came out during my senior year, it was a very difficult process. I could have been severely disciplined if not expelled.” However, for Hawkins, the move was a liberating one.

“My journey really formed me as a musician. Because I always knew what I was suppressing, I limited myself in the songs I would perform. Now that I’m out and proud and having a blast, I sing whatever I want.”

Hear the results for yourself this coming Monday at 7 p.m. as Jonathan Hawkins is joined by models showcasing the latest undergear from True Blue, Wilton Manors. “Push Fitness Presents Jonathan Hawkins in Concert: Broadway, Boys and Briefs” is a fundraiser for the Stonewall National Museum and Archives as well as the Brian Neal Fitness and Health Foundation.
