A struggling female soprano finds work playing a male female impersonator, but it complicates her personal life. Filmed live during its opening night (October 25, 1995) at the Marquis Theatre in New York City.

Director-choreographer Susan Stroman and librettist John Weidman construct an evening of three dance plays. The first deals with a "swinger" couple and their servant, whose sexual games suddenly change; the second finds an unhappy 1950s wife imagining herself the belle of a restaurant she attends with her abusive husband; and the final piece allows a suicidal executive to find life again chasing after a mysterious girl in a dance bar.
