About the Show

‘La Cage aux Folles’, the story of a gay couple who run a drag nightclub, is the only show that has been won The Tony Award for each of its Broadway productions in 1983, 2004, and 2010.

‘La Cage’ tells the story of Georges, the owner of a glitzy nightclub in lovely Saint-Tropez, and his partner Albin, who moonlights as the glamorous chanteuse Zaza. When Georges' son brings his fiancée's conservative parents home to meet the flashy pair, they attempt to pretend to be straight for one night.

Disappointing, Dated, Slow

See it if You like musicals with LGBT themes and drag queens.

Don't see it if You are expecting the laugh out loud moments the movie The Birdcage delivered. The show is a bit dated, slow, and not as funny as the movie

Great dancing, Slow, Funny

See it if You want to see hot, athletic men kill choreography in heels. You liked the Birdcage and want to see the source material.

Don't see it if You don't have time to languish in a slow story that takes forever to get to the central conflict, then races toward the finish line.

Ambitious, Entertaining, Edgy, Great writing, Profound

See it if You love broadway

Don't see it if You don’t know the backround.

Cliched

See it if you like drag queens

Don't see it if you've already seen a production of it
