Musical

LA CAGE AUX FOLLES


Book by Harvey Fierstein

Music and Lyrics by Jerry Herman

Based on the play by Jean Poiret

Directed by Thom Allison

Choreographed by Cameron Carver


“WE FACE LIFE WITH A LITTLE GUTS AND LOTS OF GLITTER…”  

Georges, the manager of a drag club in St. Tropez, decides to "play it straight" when his son arrives with his fiancé and her ultra-conservative parents. Albin, the club's star performer and romantic partner to Georges, is dubious about the plan. The ensuing clash unravels truth and consequences with heartwarming grace. Gorgeous and funny, this musical has been delighting audiences since its Tony Award-winning première in 1983. 



Production support is generously provided by Laurie J. Scott and by Peter & Carol Walters.
