Synopsis
Based on a French film by Jean Poiret, La Cage Aux Folles is a fabulous, flamboyant musical comedy about love, life – and family values in a decidedly unconventional family.

Georges and Albin have a happy if stormy life together, running a drag club where Albin stars as Za Za, drag queen extraordinaire. But when Georges’ son Jean-Michel announces his engagement to Anne, the daughter of a notoriously narrow-minded politician, their efforts to “play it straight” for a meeting with the in-laws result in high insanity.

This multi-Tony award winning musical was written by Jerry Herman, who also wrote Mack and Mabel, Hello Dolly & Mame and was later made into the film “The Birdcage” starring Robin Williams.

can you do all this while wearing stilettoes and a frock? If so, then call number bonfire and organise an audition time.

i can dance i can sing i can do most any thing…

I’d love to, but have now committed to something else…..

Best of luck finding the right people.

Ummmm…. you could form a double act with MethaneMan (but I will place you on standby in case the Tuba player is taken ill)

I have the skills of le petomaine if they are required.
