In La Cage Aux Folles cultures collide with comedic results when Georges and Albin, a happily unwedded gay couple, are introduced to Georges’ son’s fiancée and her ultra-conservative parents. Further complicating matters is the “family business,” a St. Tropez drag nightclub where Albin is the star performer, “Zaza.”

This hilarious musical comedy served as the basis for the Robin Williams’ film “The Birdcage.” This ‘come as you are’ musical features a show stopping score by Jerry Herman, the composer of ‘Hello Dolly’ and ‘Mame’.
