A Sylvester Concert, based on the life of the 1970s Disco King/Queen Sylvester, "tells the life story of Sylvester through his music his way," according to press notes. "Beyond all the trials, tribulations, glitz and glamour of his lifestyle, he was a symbol for being fabulous, but also a symbol for unapologetically being who he was. The words and music of this show will enter your ear, soar through your heart andinspire your soul. Bring your dancing shoes and get ready to dance, laugh, cry and see Sylvester's Fashionable Coutures!"
Wayne has also been seen on Broadway in Priscilla Queen of the Desert and Anything Goes. For more on his theatrical history, visit the Playbill Vault.
