I remember going onstage on Broadway in this Leigh Bowery thing for a track like Ich Bin Kunst. I've got breasts, this latex dripping down on my head, and I come out in a box. I just remember the audience looking really horrified because Rosie [O'Donnell] was trying to sell the show as sort of Pippin and Annie. She was saying it's a family sho
