@nycitycenter: Billy Porter performing "I Am What I Am" makes life worth a damn. 🦋💅🏾🌈 Don't miss his turn as Zaza in Encores! La Cage Aux Folles through June 28 only.
So I’m guessing the rhythm and notes Jerry Herman wrote doesn’t matter anymore???

There's no doubt Billy is talented, but I wish he would have made other choices with this song.

This is the 1st time I’ve heard this song and actually felt the lyrics! When the story is rooted in truth and lived experience… it resonates much more. I believed every lyric! Bravo! Give mutha everything she is owed! 👏👏👏

I like Billy Porter. But I don’t think this is one of his better things that he has done.

Fabulous - not sure why the comments are popping off. Listen to the lyrics folks, listen to what the art is trying to tell you. A queer black human, standing in their truth and strength - isn’t that that the most important thing right now? I think Jerry would absolutely be on his feet for this and I’m very excited to catch the show next week.
