About La Cage aux Folles
The laugh-a-minute, classic Broadway musical. Camp and funny yet, at its heart, a tale of family, love and acceptance. Winner of 6 Tonys on its first outing and twice winner of Best Revival. It is also the hit show that spawned the much-recorded anthem, I Am What I Am and the Hollywood film, The Birdcage.
Jean-Michel is the son of Georges and his notorious, drag queen husband, Zaza. Pandemonium and farce ensue when the son invites a right-wing, anti-gay politician (his future father-in-law, played by TV Star, Barrie Stevens) to Saint Tropez to meet them.
