the first version of it was called Micajah fall officah for yeah is the cage of the crazy Queen I think and this is uh the bird cage which is you know that kind of loose translation thing yeah and it says it's quite funny I think you know it's always strange cuz you a guy in drag is funny and a woman in drag is Armani [Applause] it was while we have this production number these big production numbers with all these guys in drag and some of them are gorgeous and there's like Teamsters going I know it's a guy I don't care you know I'm standing at the urinal next to Madonna and I'm going wow
