The Broadway revival of LA CAGE AUX FOLLES celebrated its first preview production at the Longacre Theatre, on Tuesday, April 6, 2010. The show opens on April 18, 2010. BroadwayWorld joined Kelsey Grammer, Douglas Hodge and the stars of La Cage in celebration this week at Hurley's in Times Square, following their first curtain call.
Producers Sonia Friedman, David Babani for the Menier Chocolate Factory, Fran and Barry Weissler and Robert Bartner / Norman Tulchin bring London's critically acclaimed Menier Chocolate Factory production of the Tony Award-winning musical comedy LA CAGE AUX FOLLES to Broadway.
This freshly reconceived production opened to unanimous rave reviews and won the 2009 Olivier Awards for Best Musical Revival and Best Actor in a Musical for star Douglas Hodge, who will make his Broadway debut as Albin.
LA CAGE AUX FOLLES features music and lyrics by Jerry Herman, book by Harvey Fierstein, based on the play, La Cage aux Folles, by Jean Poiret. The production is choreographed by Lynne Page and directed by Terry Johnson. The show stars Kelsey Grammer, Douglas Hodge, Fred Applegate, Veanne Cox, Chris Hoch, A.J. Shively, Elena Shaddow, Robin de Jesus and Christine Andreas.
The original production of LA CAGE AUX FOLLES was one of Broadway's biggest hits of the 1980s. It opened August 21, 1983 at the Palace Theatre, where it played for over four years and 1,761 performances. The show won six Tony Awards in 1984, including Best Musical, Best Score (Jerry Herman) and Best Book (Harvey Fierstein).
The Menier Chocolate Factory production of LA CAGE AUX FOLLES played from November 23, 2007 to March 8, 2008, earning across the board raves and moving to the West End's Playhouse Theatre on October 30, 2008, where it is still selling out and delighting audiences.
