Read Meaghan's review of La Cage at the Playhouse Theatre.
La Cage Aux Folles is dynamite stuff. This production was a big hit at the Menier Chocolate Factory and now transfers to the West End for a substantial run.
Originally a French play by Jean Poiret, it was remade as a hilarious French film and subsequently got a Hollywood makeover, which was also pretty good, even though Robin Williams was in it. This musical version promises to be the funniest English language effort, and makes for an unusual treat.
The premise is simple: Albin and Georges run a successful transvestite nightclub in St Tropez. One day Georges' son announces he is getting married and the future in laws are coming to visit. Great news! Unfortunately, though, the new family are puritanical moral crusaders and must on no account suspect that Georges is gay. Hah!
Completely silly, very funny, and just a tad emotional.
