Get a first look at La Cage Aux Folles at Barrington Stage Company in this all-new video! The production stars Alex Michaels, aka Alexis Michelle as Albin and Tom Story as Georges. 

'We’re extremely fortunate to have Alex Michaels, perhaps best known for their drag persona Alexis Michelle on “RuPaul’s Drag Race,” and the dashing Tom Story as our Albin and Georges.
