Queer sensibility took over The Strip with the 2003 opening of the $50 million Zumanity show. This erotically and omnisexually charged 90-minute Cirque du Soleil production at the New York-New York is a risque adults-only cabaret/burlesque revue emceed by Greenwich Village drag legend Joey Arias and featuring a same-sex ballet that culminates in an intense, lingering French kiss. The theater-in-the-round style allows for good gawking from all sides, and the black and red velvet motif and neo-retro feel of the comedy and dancing is unique from the other gymnast/circus shows Cirque is famous for. There's partial nudity, naughtiness, and double entendres galore—of course all done in good French taste.
