La Cage Aux Folles

Town Hall Arts Center: April 7 – 30

 

L-R: George Zamarippa and John White

With music and lyrics by Jerry Herman and book by Harvey Fierstein, “La Cage Aux Folles” won six Tony Awards including Best Musical in 1984.

      It’s a gloriously tune-filled musical about Georges and Albin, a gay couple who own a drag night club in St. Tropez.      

     When their son comes home to tell 

them that he’s marrying a young woman, their world momentarily turns upside down.  Then when they come to terms with Jean Michel’s choice, they discover their future daughter in law’s father is a homophobic politician…and guess who’s coming to dinner?

     The current production is so much fun, I must admit it’s better than the one I saw on Broadway.

     John White is Outstanding in the role of Albin! George Zamarripa is the best Georges I’ve seen to date! Both men sparkle and shine. Their voices complement each other beautifully.

     The scenic design by Michael R. Duran is just about perfect. So are Sammy Gleason's glitzy, glamorous costumes for ZaZa and Les Cagelles!

     Tracy Nicole Taylor is a Jacqueline for the books!!! Awesome!

     Caleb Wenger is a genuine charmer as Jean Michel.

     The music direction by Phil Forman is amazing.

     Director/Choreographer Nathan Halvorson knocked it out of the park.

     This timeless musical about the importance of being who you are, has taken wings down at Town Hall Arts Center in Littleton.
