La CAge aux Folles at The Arts at Angeloria's

La Cage aux Folles began life as a stage play in 1973 and was then adapted into a wildly popular French film premiering in 1978, a wickedly funny musical farce about two gay men, Georges and Albin, who have had a relationship for over 20 years. They own a glamorous nightclub where one is the star and the other the MC. When Georges son, the product of a one-night stand years ago, brings home the daughter of a very conservative politician and announces their impending marriage, slapstick comedy ensues as everyone tries to pretend they are someone or something they are not. The stuffy politician, his wife, and the innocent young couple who just want to get married provide an hilarious storyline and Georges and Albin define the best of friendship and love that only gets stronger through the years. In many ways, this is an old-fashioned musical about old-fashioned family values..with a twist! In 1996, the original film was remade.as The Birdcage, starring Robin Williams and Nathan Lane. This production will be featured in our Art Barn. "This is Jerry Herman's best musical yet--happier, more assertive, more buoyant than Hello Dolly! or Mame." - The New York Post "The schmaltziest, most old fashioned major musical since Annie. Highly enjoyable." - The New York Times "Carry your maiden aunt off to La Cage aux Folles...It's a family show, a glittering, fast stepping extravaganza."-New York Daily News PLEASE NOTE: For the safety of our patrons, actors, production team, and volunteers, all attendees must be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
