He opened with a couple of dance numbers: “Willamania” from The Will Rodgers Follies and “I Wanna Be a Rockette” from Kicks: The Showgirl Musical. That led into stories about his exploring his own sexuality and his developing interest in female roles.

A major portion of the show was devoted to those female roles he most coveted, including Madame Rose (Gypsy) and Roxie Hart (Chicago). His terrific “Rose’s Turn” had the added touch of a dramatically revealed pseudo red-sequined gown, designed for him by Mary Ellen Bosche, designer for Dancing with the Stars.

He finished the show, accompanied by five lingerie-clad female dancers, in a hilarious version of “Cell Block Tango.
