Kelsey Grammer has a love affair with a drag queen every night in his new role as a gay nightclub owner in "La Cage aux Folles," a Broadway revival that opened to strong reviews on Sunday.

The 55-year-old Mr. Grammer—a believer in astrology, psychics and the paranormal— was last on Broadway a decade ago in "Macbeth." The play, whose name, theater legend has it, is not to be uttered in a theater, closed 10 days after it opened.

This week, the outspoken Republican surfaced as a spokesman for RightNetwork, a conservative television outlet. The supporter of same-sex marriage is trying to put politics aside on stage, where he can be found in a purple crushed-velvet jacket, mingling with men in feathers.
