a Cage Aux Folles is a contemporary classic that just keeps improving with age. For each time the musical has marqueed Broadway, it has pranced away with the Tony Award for Best Musical. It’s just that good. The camp sensation takes the stage of The Fabulous Fox Theatre, January 3-15 and promises to charm audiences both gay and straight alike. The show tells the story of Georges (George Hamilton), the owner of a glitzy nightclub in lovely Saint-Tropez, and his partner Albin (Christopher Sieber), who moonlights as the glamorous chanteuse Zaza. When Georges’ son brings his fiancée’s conservative parents home to meet the flashy pair, the bonds of family are put to the test as the feather boas fly! La Cage Aux Folles is a tuneful and touching tale of one family’s struggle to stay together—stay fabulous—and above all else, stay true to themselves. theVitalVOICE.com | 13
