Billy Porter currently stars as Albin opposite Wayne Brady as Georges in La Cage Aux Folles by Harvey Fierstein and Jerry Herman. Watch Porter sing Albin’s show-stopping number “I Am What I Am” in the video below.
The musical is running at New York City Center Encores! through June 28. TheaterMania’s David Gordon wrote in his review, “Porter meanwhile, has the makings of a fabulously scathing Albin/Zaza, crafting an ‘I Am What I Am’ that feels like an exorcism of the ‘Billy Porter’ media persona that has dogged him for years and accrued as many detractors as admirers.”
