Hilarious, colorful and incredibly entertaining are all accurate descriptions of the charming, musical comedy, La Cage aux Folles, which will take stage at The Pollard Theatre beginning June 8th, 2012.
La Cage aux Folles is a wonderful piece of American theatre with a sweeping traditional score and non-traditional story, written by Harvey Fierstein and music and lyrics by Tony award-winning composer and lyricist, Jerry Herman. La Cage aux Folles centers around the relationship between two men, Georges and Albin, their fabulous, flamboyant transvestite nightclub and the romance their son falls into.
The story takes an interesting turn when Georges and Albin’s son, Jean-Michel falls in love and plans to marry a young girl whose parents are extremely conservative, moral activists. When the time comes to meet the family of the bride-to-be, Jean-Michel asks Georges to masquerade as “normal”. Georges reluctantly agrees, however, Albin has other plans with hilarious results.

La Cage aux Folles is directed by W. Jerome Stevenson, with musical direction by Todd Malicoate and choreography by Jennifer Rosson.
