Star of "Queer Eye" Jai Rodriguez Set to Come to the Venus Cabaret Theater March 15th, 16th & 17th.
Best known as the Culture Guy from the original Queer Eye, Emmy Award winner Jai Rodriguez is no stranger to the stage. He was cast as Angel in the Broadway musical Rent at age 18 making him the youngest person cast in a leading role in that show.
In 2003, Jai made history as the ‘Culture Vulture’ in the original Queer Eye Fab Five, alongside his cast mates Ted Allen, Carson Kressley, Kyan Douglas and Thom Filicia. The show, which ultimately shaped American television and cultural representation of the LGBTQ community, lasted from 2003 through 2007 and along the way, picked up both a Primetime Emmy Award and a GLAAD Media Award for ‘Outstanding Reality Program,’ as well nominations from the PGA Awards, People’s Choice Awards and Teen Choice Awards.
