‘La Cage Aux Folles’ began life as a stage play in 1973 and was adapted into a wildly popular French film premiering in 1978. The musical premiered on Broadway in 1983 and the film version was then remade as ‘The Birdcage’, starring Robin Williams and Nathan Lane, in 1996.

The musical is a wickedly funny farce about two gay men, Georges and Albin, who have had a relationship for over 20 years. The two men own a glamorous nightclub in St. Tropez where one is the star and the other the MC. Together they have raised Georges’ son, the product of a one-night stand years ago.

When Georges’ son, Jean Michel, brings home the daughter of a very conservative French 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 whilst Georges and Albin define the best of friendship and love, the kind that only gets stronger through the years.

In many ways, this is an old-fashioned musical about old-fashioned family values…..with a twist!
