The sell-out Menier Chocolate Factory production is transferring to the West End's Playhouse Theatre for a strictly limited season, starring Douglas Hodge and Denis Lawson.
The idyllic existence of Georges and the dazzling drag artiste Albin, star of the La Cage aux Folles club, is threatened when Georges' son announces his engagement to the daughter of a right-wing politician, who wants to close down the local colourful nightlife! With a visit from the prospective in-laws imminent, they all decide to take drastic action to hide their lifestyle...but can they keep it up?
Jerry Herman's (Hello Dolly, Mack and Mabel and Mame) fabulous score includes I Am What I Am, The Best of Times and Song on the Sand.
LA CAGE AUX FOLLES is a timeless and deliciously funny show about family values, unconditional love, and above all, the need to be proud of who we are.
