La Cage aux Follies
Broadway legend Billy Porter as Albin

For all the madcap costumes, flashes of leather, trilling singers and eccentric cabaret acts, this is a simple and moving love story that gives two men their chance to stride off into the sunset

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.
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.
Please note: The producers can't guarantee the appearance of any performers on any specific date.
