LA CAGE AUX FOLLES Opens At Norwalk's Music Theatre Of Connecticut In April
The production runs from April 4th through the 19th.
Music Theatre of Connecticut (MTC) MainStage, Fairfield County's award-winning professional theatre company, concludes its 38th season with the Tony Award winning musical, La Cage Aux Folles.
The production runs from April 4th through the 19th with performances on Fridays at 8pm, Saturdays at 2pm & 8pm, and Sundays at 2pm. There will be two Thursday performances at 7pm on April 10th and 17th.
La Cage Aux Folles tells the story of Georges and Albin, a couple who have shared 20 years of love and partnership. Their blissful life takes a chaotic turn when Georges' son — the result of a brief fling — announces his engagement to the daughter of a staunchly conservative politician. The situation becomes even more complicated by their “family business”: a glamorous drag nightclub in St. Tropez, where Albin, under the stage name "Zaza," is the star performer. To appease the bride-to-be's family, Georges agrees to play it straight…but Albin has a few outrageous plans of his own, leading to a cascade of hilarious and heartfelt moments.
