„LA CAGE AUX FOLLES - einer der großten Broadway-Erfolge aller Zeiten - ist mit seiner Forderung nach einer freien Wahl der sexuellen Identitat auch 30 Jahre nach seiner Urauffuhrung von verbluffender Aktualitat und daruber hinaus eine beruhrende Geschichte uber Liebe und Toleranz. Das Musical stammt aus der Feder von Jerry Herman (Musik und Gesangstexte) und Harvey Fierstein (Buch), und beruht auf dem gleichnamigen Stuck von Jean Poiret. Die Premiere am Theater Regensburg fand am vergangen Samtstag statt. Weitere Vorstellungen laufen vorerst noch bis Mitte Juni.
