BWW WEST END: Allam and Quast Star in LA CAGE AUX FOLLES

The Menier Chocolate Factory production of La Cage aux Folles is now starring Olivier Award Winners, Roger Allam (Privates on Parade, Les Misérables, City of Angels) and Philip Quast (Sunday in the Park with George, Evita, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum).

Our West End video partners, Reelkandi.tv went behind the curtain to speak with the two celebrated actors about bringing the colorful roles to life - right here on BWW TV!

Terry Johnson's acclaimed revival of the Jerry Herman/Harvey Fierstein musical was first produced at the 150-seat Menier Chocolate Factory in Southwark, where it ran, with Douglas Hodge and Quast, from 9th January to 8th March 2008. It opened at the Playhouse on 30th October 2008.

La Cage aux Folles is a timeless and deliciously funny tale of family values, unconditional love, and above all, the need to celebrate who we are. The idyllic existence of Georges and the dazzling drag artiste Albin, star of the La Cage aux Folles club, is threatened when Georges' son announces his engagement to the daughter of a right-wing politician, who wants to close down the local colourful nightlife! With a visit from the prospective in-laws imminent, they all decide to take drastic action to hide their lifestyle...but can they keep it up?

Jerry Herman's (Hello, Dolly!, Mack and Mabel and Mame) fabulous score includes I Am What I Am, The Best of Times and Song on the Sand.

The production has extended its booking through to January 9th 2010.
