Is this really how Birdland is advertising this show? I guess I understand what they're trying to let the audience know, but is 'As A Man' really the best way to say 'not in drag'?

Not a big deal, but it did strike me as odd.

I was thinking it was the name of his concert. *shrug*

That's kind of the point, TF4.

I would have gone with "Undressed", myself.

Well it's Hodge's title & got a chuckle out of it. Updated On: 1/17/11 at 02:48 PM

It's a very funny title, considering that nobody in the NY theatrical community knows his work not in drag.
