La Cage aux Folles
La Cage aux Folles, London
La Cage aux Folles is not just another musical with drag queens it actually stated out as a play. Then it became a film and now a West End musical which starred Graham Norton. Now John Barrowman and Simon Burke lead the cast in a return of the surprise success story of the summer, and the show will go on after that from November 30th 2009 to January 2nd 2010.
The story of Georges and Albin is both touching and ultimately uplifting.
Albin the dazzling drag artiste is the star of the La Cage aux Folles club, but the night life is threatened when Georges’ son announces his engagement to the daughter of a right-wing politician, who wants to close it down. Drastic action needs to be taken!
So it’s a feel good musical with a great story, and incredible dance performances from the whole cast. All in all La Cage Aux Folles could make an interesting complement to the larger scale show which is also getting a lot of attention this summer – Priscilla Queen of The Desert.
Graham Norton ended his run in May but you can also book theatre breaks to see La Cage Aux Folles right up to New Year. with John Barrowman starring until November 28th.

er, actually John Barrowman and Simon Burke are only in La Cage Aux Folles until 28 Nov, then the cast changes.
Thanks for that and sorry about any confusion as to who’s in La Cages Aux Folles and when. OK, so it’s Douglas Hodge and Denis Lawson who will return to the roles from November 28th to January 2nd.
