Music and lyrics by Jerry Herman, book by Harvey Fierstein, based on the play La Cage aux Folles by Jean Poiret
The
idyllic existence of Georges and the dazzling drag artiste Albin, star
of the La Cage aux Folles club, is threatened when Georges' son
announces his engagement to the daughter of a right-wing politician,
who wants to close down the local colourful nightlife! With a visit
from the prospective in-laws imminent, they all decide to take drastic
action to hide their lifestyle. But can they keep it up? The
accomplished Australian actor Simon Burke takes over the role of
Georges from September 14th. Hell star alongside John Barrowman and
will continue in the role until November 28th. Hes the fourth actor to
play the ageing St Tropez nightclub owner since the Menier Chocolate
Factory production opened at the Playhouse in October last year to
storming reviews.
