To date, she has sold over eight million albums and 35 million singles digitally worldwide.
Queer identity is a prominent theme in the revue's scenes. "The show is about how gay people relate to each other. It's also about how gay people define themselves versus how other gay people defiNe You," says director Rebecca Marquardt. In one scene a long-term lesbian couple is forced to deal with peer pressure after gay marriage becomes legal. In another scene two gay men in a casual sexual relationship go to couples therapy.
