I've lost count of the cultural snobs I've seen wrinkle their noses in disgust whenever the p-word is mentioned. Frankly, though, they don't know what they're missing. Men dressed as women, women dressed as men, gloriously camp villains, wicked double entendres and sweeties thrown into the audience. What's not to love?
