Photo Flash: First Look at David Engel, Robert J. Townsend & More in San Diego Musical Theatre's LA CAGE AUX FOLLES

By: Sep. 28, 2015

San Diego Musical Theatre announces the third production of their 2015 season, La Cage Aux Folles, September 25 - October 11, 2015 (press opening on Saturday, September 26), at the Spreckels Theatre on Broadway in downtown San Diego. Check out a first look at the production below!

Book by Harvey Fierstein with Music and Lyrics by Jerry Herman.

The musical that inspired the movie The Birdcage (starring Robin Williams and Nathan Lane), La Cage Aux Folles tells the story of Georges, the owner of a glitzy nightclub in lovely St. Tropez, and his partner, Albin, who moonlights as the glamorous chanteuse, Zaza. When Georges' son brings home his fiancée's ultra conservative parents to meet the splashy pair, the bonds of family are put to the test! La Cage is a glittering and fast stepping extravaganza mixed with a touching tale of one family's struggle to stay together, stay fabulous and above all else, stay true to themselves!

LA CAGE AUX FOLLES STARS: DAVID ENGEL* who was in the original La Cage Aux Folles cast on Broadway, ROBERT J. TOWNSEND* who just ended his Broadway run in Mamma Mia! and JAMES VASQUEZ* who is stepping out from behind the scenes, into the spotlight, in the role of Jacob.
