San Jose Playhouses 2022 season opens on April 2 (with previews on March 31 and April 1) with the much celebrated LA CAGE AUX FOLLES, starring STEPHEN GUGGENHEIM as Georges and ALAN PALMER as Albin. SYNOPSIS: Georges is the owner of the La Cage Aux Folles nightclub, which features a drag show starring his partner and the love of his life, Albin. After twenty years of un-wedded bliss, Georges and his partner Albin face the hardest challenge of their relationship... meeting the parents of their son's fiance. Albin has always raised Georges biological son, Jean-Michel, as his own. But when Jean-Michel falls in love and becomes engaged to the daughter of an ultra-conservative, anti-gay politician, Georges feels compelled to try to present a more traditional family to Jean-Michels potential in-laws. When Albin tries and fails to take on a masculine persona in the role of Uncle Al, he gets more creative in order to find a way to be part of the meet the parents experience. Based on Jean Poirets 1973 French play of the same name, the multi-Tony award-winning La Cage Aux Folles is a musical filled with delightful spectacle and great heart.Photo of Alan Palmer courtesy of the artist and Guggenheim Entertainment.
