Oliver brilliantly plays Adam/Felicia in London's Priscilla; here's his take on muscles and Nick Adams (interview from Broadway.com):

Have you lost or gained weight during this run?
Oh, lost, probably a couple of stone [nearly 30 pounds], and I hate that because I’ve always trained very hard at the gym. When I was doing Chicago, I caught the gym bug, but it doesn’t really suit this show to have too much muscle. That’s part of our job as actors, isn’t it: to mold ourselves to whatever we are doing. There are parts of Priscilla where you have to stand up as a woman, and that’s not going to work with Arnold Schwarzenegger’s shoulders [laughs].

Try telling that to Nick Adams, Broadway’s Mr. Muscle [who will play Adam/Felicia in New York].
Well, he’s going to have to face his demons, because I really did! At times in this show, you’ve got to be a passable woman, and unfortunately, women don’t have big packed shoulders and heavy pecs.
