He recently made a super-splash in Lin-Manuel Miranda’s take on Jonathan Larson’s ‘tick, tick… Boom!’ but most gay men of a certain age, myself included, have Robin De Jesus imprinted in our hearts from his moving performance in the musical love-letter ‘Camp’. For those acts alone De Jesus could easily have earned this Dazzler of the Day honor, but I fell in love all over again when he injected the most infectious exuberance into his part in ‘The Boys in the Band’ which I had the privilege of seeing live on Broadway. De Jesus lifted the production whenever he was in a scene – not easy to do with all the talent that was on stage at the same time. He remains a Dazzler in everything he does.
