"This production is a fun and fabulous, uplifting and flamboyant," said Diamond Head Theatre Executive Director Deena Dray. "We're delighted to be extending the show."
This hilarious and heartwarming story is about family, commitment and show business. Georges is the manager of a Saint-Tropez nightclub featuring drag entertainment, and Albin is his long-time romantic partner. Things are going swimmingly until Georges' son, Jean-Michel, brings home his fiancée's ultra-conservative parents to meet them. Georges reluctantly agrees to masquerade as a straight man but Albin has other plans.
La Cage aux Folles is a musical based on the 1978 film with the same name directed by Édouard Molinaro with music and lyrics by Jerry Herman and book by Harvey Fierstein.
The musical features songs from the original film including "I Am What I Am," "The Best of Times" and "We Are What We Are." The musical has won an Olivier Award and several Tony Awards.
This Diamond Head Theatre performance is directed by John Rampage with choreography by Andrew Sakaguchi and musical direction by Phil Hidalgo. Costumes are designed by Madison Gholston and set created by Dawn Oshima.
The cast includes: Guy Merola as Georges; Andrew Sakaguchi as Albin/Zaza; Charles Ho as Jean-Michel; Aaron Miko as Jacob; Shari Lynn as Jacqueline; Joe Martyak as Edouard Dindon; Kim Anderson as Marie Dindon; Federico Biven as M. Renaud; Suzanne Maloney as Mme. Renaud; and Jake Wolf as Francis.
