Downtown Stratford Ontario has come alive with the arrival of La Cage aux Folles at the Avon Theatre. The Stratford Festival has included all the glitz and glam you would expect from the production, but also brings a lot of emotion to the stage. This musical set in the 1970's still challenges the idea of love and acceptance in today's society. Within the building walls on stage of this show there is a nightclub with an adjoining apartment chocked full of comedic hijinks, choregraphed cabaret numbers and songs that range from delightful to devasting.
It tackles the themes of prejudice, mental health and self-worth. With the happiness of a young couple's life in the balance, you see how much the parents will endure to see it through. The range of emotions brought by Stratford Festival's La Cage aux Folles makes it a "must-see" musical.
Georges, the manager of a drag club in St. Tropez, decides to “play it straight” when his son arrives with his fiancé and her ultra-conservative parents. Albin, the club’s star performer and romantic partner to Georges, is dubious about the plan. The ensuing clash unravels truth and consequences with heartwarming grace.
