La Cage aux Folles (performance for sponsors)

Description

Description

Albin is a star performer in a night club run by his lover Georges. He has been living with Georges and his son Jean. When Jean brings his fiancée and her conservative parents for dinner, Albin dresses up as “wife” to appease them, resulting in scenes after scenes of hilarity.

At its Broadway premiere, La Cage aux Folles won six Tony Awards for its lighthearted and entertaining tale boldly addressing such taboos as cross-dressing and same sex marriage. Subsequent Broadway revivals of La Cage aux Folles—in 2005 and 2010—also won Tony Awards for Best Revival of a Musical, and a film adaptation received three Oscar nominations, raising the story’s profile in the public discourse.
