Starring John Barrowman and Simon Burke, the Menier Chocolate Factory production of La Cage Aux Folles is currently playing at the Playhouse Theatre.

Telling the story of gay couple, Georges and Ablin, this funny tale of family values and love sees their idyllic lives threatened when Georges son announces that he is engaged to the daughter of a right wing politician who has plans to close down the colourful local nightlife which is central to their lives. Terrified by what the prospective in-laws are going to think when they visit, La Cage Aux Folles sees them all take drastic, and rather farcical action in an attempt to hide their far from sedate lifestyle, but can they keep it up?

Hugely funny and with an incredible score including “I Am What I Am”, “The Best Of Times” and “Song on the Sand”, La Cage Aux Folles is a musical guaranteed to have you leaving the theatre in fits of giggles, with the songs stuck in your head for at least a week.
