About This Show

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.
