...Hollywood automatically considered Broadway a wellspring of stories and concepts. But almost none of the hit Broadway musicals of the past decade have been turned into a movie. Indeed, the east- west flow of material has rather suddenly reversed itself -- movies now turn into Broadway spectacles. La Cage aux Folles, 42nd Street and The Phantom of the Opera were films first and stage shows second, as were both of this season's big hits, Tommy (essentially a set of music videos performed live) and Kiss of the Spider Woman.

We are introduced to a small family of transvestite night club performers in St. Tropez: the proprietor and ringmaster Georges (Art Shettle), his diva husband, Albin or "Zsa-Zsa" (Michael Conte) and their motley crew of dancers and friends...
