Why he might be annoying:

    At 6'6-1/2, he is unusually tall for a dancer.
    For his breakthrough role in 'Seesaw' (1974), he portrayed a gay choreographer, which was not much of a stretch.
    He followed Michael Bennett's advice and did not bring a male guest to the Tonys that year.
    He left Broadway for a decade to star in a Vegas spectacle, EFX.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He won a record nine Tony Awards: two for acting, three for directing and four for choreography.
    He has performed for three US presidents, Queen Elizabeth II and the royal family of Monaco.
    He was named to the Top 10 International Best Dressed list (1992).
    He lost two partners and his agent to AIDS.
