Our first production in the brand-new Bernard Family Theatre is an immersive evening at St. Tropez’s hottest drag club, La Cage Aux Folles! It is a big night for club owners Georges and his husband, Albin – their son Jean-Michel has just announced he’s engaged! The only catch is that his prospective father-in-law is an infamous politician from the Tradition, Family and Morality Party. And did we mention that Albin is not only Georges’ husband, but also the club’s biggest star, where they perform as the fabulous Zaza? When Jean-Michel requests that Zaza make herself scarce when his fiancée and her parents come for a visit, chaos and a reckoning ensue. Fierstein’s book and Herman’s songs feel just as relevant today as when the musical first premiered in 1983, or when its movie adaptation The Birdcage came out in 1996.  Limited cabaret-table seating available at every show!

Based on the play by Jean Poiret
