La Cage aux Folles

Aug. 8-14 Absolutely fabulous.

Performances at 8:15 p.m. nightly

The Muny presents La Cage aux Folles, Harvey Fierstein and Jerry Herman’s hilarious romp about complicated family dynamics, for the first time in nearly four decades. After 20 years together, things turn rocky for Georges and Albin when their son becomes engaged to the daughter of a politician. Adding to the tension is the couple’s drag nightclub in Saint-Tropez, where Albin stars as “Zaza.” This musical theatre triumph, which inspired the 1996 film The Birdcage, features memorable tunes such as “I Am What I Am,” “The Best of Times” and “A Little More Mascara.”

Book by Harvey Fierstein • Music and Lyrics by Jerry Herman • Based on the play by Jean Poiret
