La Cage set for Lowry, March

Direct from a smash-hit West End season, the multi-award winning production of La Cage aux Folles arrives at the Lowry next March. This funny tale is about family values, unconditional love, and above all, the need to celebrate who we are.

The idyllic existence of Georges and the dazzling drag artiste Albin, star of the La Cage aux Folles club, is threatened when Georges’ son announces his engagement to the daughter of a right-wing politician, who wants to close down the local colourful nightlife! With a visit from the prospective in-laws imminent, they all decide to take drastic action to hide their lifestyle… but can they keep it up?

Jerry Herman’s (Hello, Dolly!, Mack and Mabel and Mame) fabulous score includes “I Am What I Am”, “The Best of Times” and “Song on the Sand”.

Casting is to be announced and La Cage aux Folles runs at the Lowry from 15 – March, 2010, to book – click here.
