LA CAGE AUX FOLLES - May 15 - 20, 2012
WHAT’S IT ABOUT? La Cage aux Folles centers on a St. Tropez glitzy nightclub owned by Georges and headlined by his longtime love Albin. The couple raised Georges’ son together, but when young Jean-Michel gets engaged to the daughter of a right-wing politician determined to crack down on gay nightlife, Georges feels compelled to pretend to have a “normal” family, with Albin taking on the masculine persona of “Uncle Al.” Will Jean-Michel’s future in-laws be fooled?
SHOULD I SEE IT? The heart of the show is its touching portrayal of Georges and Albin’s enduring love. This more intimate version of LA CAGE features six “Cagelles” (men in drag) performing lively musical numbers to Jerry Herman’s Tony-winning score, and Harvey Fierstein’s book and is as hilarious as ever. As the song says, “The Best of Times” is always now to see La Cage aux Folles.
IS LA CAGE AUX FOLIES GOOD FOR KIDS? If you don’t mind taking your kids to a nightclub featuring bawdy drag queens and comfortable-in-their-skin gay men (who kiss!), absolutely! Older kids will embrace La Cag e’s slapstick humor (including the comic antics of Albin’s “maid” Jacob) and will identify with Jean-Michel’s plight in feeling pulled between a desire to impress his girlfriend and loyalty to his sometimes embarrassing parents. The family at the center of the show may be unconventional, but their devotion to one another makes a strong statement about family values. This production is recommended for audience age 13 and up.
