La Cage aux Follies

La Cage aux Follies at New York City Center Mainstage

Why see La Cage aux Follies?

Billy Porter Stars

The glittering doors to La Cage Aux Follies are open in this new production of the Tony Award-winning comedy musical at New York City Centre, directed by Robert O'Hara! The show, from recently crowned Tony Lifetime Achievement Award winner Harvey Fierstein and fellow Lifetime Achievement winner Jerry Herman (2010), features the decorated talents of Broadway royalty Billy Porter, with the Grammy, Tony and Emmy winner starring as Albin to head up an all-black cast.

What Is The Story?

While their extravagant shows at their St. Tropez nightclub are the talk of the town, owner Georges and his partner, Drag artiste Albin face the performance of a lifetime when Georges' son Laurent announces his intention to marry the daughter of a local right-wing politician. With the in-laws on the way, it's up to the duo to stage a 'straight' lifestyle, to fit in. But for whose benefit? With the charade wearing thin, it's up to Georges to confront Laurent about the scheme and stand up for himself and Albin in the face of bigotry.
