La Cage aux Folles at Cortland Repertory Theatre

Book by Harvey Fierstein, Music and Lyrics by Jerry Herman, based on the play by Jean Poiret
“We Are What We Are!” This multiple Tony-Award winning musical remains one of Broadway’s all time greatest hits! After twenty years of un-wedded bliss Georges and Albin, two men partnered for better-or-worse, get a bit of both when Georges' son (fathered during a one-night fling) announces his impending marriage to the daughter of a closed-minded politician. Further complicating the situation is the “family business”: Albin and Georges run a drag nightclub in St. Tropez, where Albin is the star performer “Zaza”. When the families plan a “normal” dinner, it turns out to be anything but! This is a wonderful, uplifting family…for every kind of family!
