The Menier Chocolate Factory presents Jerry Herman’s La Cage Aux Folles, directed by Terry Johnson.
Based on the 1973 French play by Jean Poiret and subsequent 1978 French-Italian screen version, the musical focuses on a gay couple — George, the manager of a St Tropez nightclub featuring drag entertainment, and Albin, his star attraction — and the adventures that ensue when George’s son brings home his fiancée’s ultra-conservative parents to meet them.
The musical features a book by Harvey Fierstein and music and lyrics by Jerry Herman. Songs include “I Am What I Am,” “The Best of Times,” “Song on the Sand,” “Maculinity,” and the title number.
