La Cage aux Folles

Bloomington Center for the Arts
1800 W. Old Shakopee Rd. Bloomington

A boisterous and uplifting portrait of love in a nontraditional family, Tony Award-winning La Cage aux Folles has been one of Broadway's biggest hits for 30 years, and comes now to the Bloomington Civic Theatre. Georges and Albin, a gay couple who run and star in a popular drag show, find their domestic peace shattered when Georges' son (fathered during a one-night fling) announces his impending marriage to the daughter of a right-wing politician who wants to shut down the drag show. The lively and glittering spectacle that ensues celebrates family values, unconditional love and, above all, the need to be proud of who we are. The musical, which was adapted into the popular movie ,The Birdcage starring Robin Williams, features gorgeous costumes, fabulous dance numbers and a wonderful Jerry Herman score.
