La Cage Aux Folles at Music Theatre of CT

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. Glamorous, heartwarming, and full of show-stopping numbers, it’s a show you won't forget! 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.
