Reine?

The female impersonator does not disclose his identity til the end of the act. He sang three or four songs. One was something about "Sweet, Sweet" and another was "Mermaid."

There is some applause at the end, but there seemed to be many of his friends in the front rows.

Reine, with or without the question mark, came from the small time evidently, and will go back there. The impersonator has a chance if he can improve his voice, which is currently too coarse and masculine. It would be better if he did not use the question mark in his name. "But just between us, there are too many female impersonators cropping up. The best only should be given time, and that's not intended as an opening for a bad pun."
