La Cage Aux Folles
By Jerry Herman & Harvey Fierstein
Based on the play by Jean Poiret
Watch Brian Marshall and Pierre-Jacques Brault fight for the spotlight at La Cage Aux Folles, in the beloved gender-bending musical comedy and winner of six Tony Awards® including Best Musical.
The twenty year relationship between Georges, a club-owner, and Albin, the head drag performer, faces a test when their son announces his engagement to the daughter of ultra-conservative political parents. To please their son, Georges and Albin agree to hide their lifestyle and play it straight for a dinner with the potential in-laws. Will Albin‘s different definition of “normal” threaten to upend their lives?
With an iconic score by Jerry Herman (Hello, Dolly!; Mame) featuring “I Am What I Am” and “The Best of Times” and hilarious book by Harvey Fierstein (Newsies, Kinky Boots), La Cage Aux Folles is a fabulously fun musical about family, asking each of us to love who you are.
