THE SHOW
"La Cage aux Folles" is a popular French musical that was originally created by composer and lyricist Jerry Herman, with a book by Harvey Fierstein. The musical is based on the 1973 French play of the same name by Jean Poiret and has been adapted into various productions worldwide. The Australian production from 1985 is one of these adaptations.
The story of "La Cage aux Folles" revolves around the lives of a gay couple, Georges and Albin, who run a nightclub in the Saint-Tropez area of the French Riviera. The nightclub's main attraction is a drag show featuring Albin, who performs as the glamorous and charismatic Zaza. Their lives are turned upside down when Georges' son, Jean-Michel, announces that he is engaged to the daughter of a conservative politician who is known for his anti-gay views. Jean-Michel asks his parents to play it straight when meeting his future in-laws, leading to a series of comedic and heartwarming situations.
The musical explores themes of love, acceptance, and family, as well as the idea of being true to oneself. It's known for its catchy songs, including "I Am What I Am" and "The Best of Times," both of which have become iconic in musical theater.
The Australian cast of "La Cage aux Folles" in 1985 would have included talented actors and performers who brought the characters and the story to life on the stage. Cast members included Keith Mitchell, Jon Ewing, Gerard Symonds, Todd McKenney and many more.
"La Cage aux Folles" has had numerous revivals and adaptations over the years, including a Tony Award-winning Broadway revival in 2004. It remains a beloved and enduring musical that continues to entertain and inspire audiences around the world.
