Well, I’m here to tell you that it does so in a provocative and gut-busting script of genius and absolute hilarity.

There's this obvious fantasy of the character in that we're in mid-century pinks and blues and teals and aquamarines and this whole color palette and it's a musical, and it's songs, and it's a man dressed up as a woman.
