Are you a La Cage Aux Folles or a Sunday In The Park With George?

I like to think of myself as a Sunday in the La Cage Aux Folles Park With George.

I wish I could say I was a La Cage. Since puberty I have wanted to be a drag queen. Sadly, I am a straight girl. And I'm gonna have to say Sunday in the Park with..George? Right? that's his name? Why not Sunday in the Park with Albert?

Because we couldn't get Albert to stop, um, putting on a "HAPPY" face.

Aw but she didn't know. She thought people were just catching on.

Neither. I walked out of La Cage last year after the first act. Not that it was a bad production, but I think it's a nasty story about an ungrateful son who goes out of his way to piss off his parents. When I got home that night, The Birdcage was on TV. You can't get way from it!

I think Sunday in the Park with George is the most boring musical ever written. I much prefer Hello, Dolly! when it comes to Jerry Herman, and Follies when it comes to Sondheim!

I think SUNDAY is so exciting. How is it boring? It has so many great dance numbers. And the huge sets with flying paintings are amazing. My favorite part is when they drop Seurat's painting on the audience. Amazing.

How can Stephen Sondheim's Sunday be boring ? but no offense- you probably just dont get it .... Sunday in the park with George is probbably one of his more cerebral work..

As long as Gwen Verdon isn't in it I am good.

Ljay, the production of Sunday I saw definitely didn't have any dancing in it (unless I fell asleep)!

Sunday in the Park with George, all the way for me.

I really liked the Polka in Sunday in the Park with George right after Finishing the Hat.

I personally liked the minimilist approach taken with La Cage Aux Folles.

I love the part when Georges and Dot go to the Follies, and get pulled into the Can-Can, and then Dot gets asked to be a follies girl by the seedy owner, and then Georges punches him in the eye and then everyone freezes, and then they all sing Tuesday!

I tend to be a La Cage on a Sunday in the Park with the Producers man myself.

I love the part when Georges and Dot go to the Follies, and get pulled into the Can-Can...

Is that before or after they met Phyllis and Ben?

[Julian2]

Posted: 8/3/07 at 6:48pm

Before they met Phyllis and Ben, after they help Dolly matchmake.

Well, Ben IS the seedy Follies owner, interestingly enough, but we don't find that out until Act Two, when it's revealed that Ben is the Baker's father, and now lives in the metaphoric woods of Barcelona.
