ABOUT THE PLAY
=A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0This smash-hit Jerry Herman musical is bounding with ener=
gy and=20
appeal. Based on the French film by Jean Poiret, La Cage aux Folles tells th=
e=20
stories of two middle-aged gay lovers who run a transvestite nightclub in St=
.=20
Tropez, and their son who has announced his intentions to marry the daughter=
=20
of a local morals crusader. The show, which was the basis for the popular=20
movie "The Birdcage," was the biggest new American musical of the 1980s, wit=
h=20
an original Broadway run of 1,761 performances.

In its original inception, the French play La Cage aux Folles was a comic=20
farce, full of sight gags and wildly drawn characters. It took the combined=20
talents of Jerry Herman (Mame, Hello, Dolly!) and Harvey Fierstein (Torch=20
Song Trilogy) to give the story its heart. In the words of playwright Harvey=
=20
Feirstein: "La Cage aux Folles is a love story, the tale of a marriage of 20=
=20
years almost ruined by a son's thoughtlessness. Here is the age-old triangle=
=20
of mother, father and child. What child has not at some point in its life=20
been ashamed to introduce its parents to friends? What parent has not=20
wondered, 'where did we go wrong?' What marriage has not been tested in thes=
e=20
familial flames?"

F" FACE=3D"Arial" LANG=3D"0"><B> =A0=A0=A0This smash-hit Jerry Herman musica=
l is bounding with energy and appeal. Based on the French film by Jean Poire=
t, <I>La Cage aux Folles</I> tells the stories of two middle-aged gay lovers=
 who run a transvestite nightclub in St. Tropez, and their son who has annou=
nced his intentions to marry the daughter of a local morals crusader. The sh=
ow, which was the basis for the popular movie "The Birdcage," was the bigges=
t new American musical of the 1980s, with an original Broadway run of 1,761=20=
performances.<BR>
<BR>
In its original inception, the French play <I>La Cage aux Folles</I> was a c=
omic farce, full of sight gags and wildly drawn characters. It took the comb=
ined talents of Jerry Herman (<I>Mame, Hello, Dolly!</I>) and Harvey Fierste=
in (<I>Torch Song Trilogy</I>) to give the story its heart. In the words of=20=
playwright Harvey Feirstein: "<I>La Cage aux Folles</I> is a love story, the=
 tale of a marriage of 20 years almost ruined by a son's thoughtlessness. He=
re is the age-old triangle of mother, father and child. What child has not a=
t some point in its life been ashamed to introduce its parents to friends? W=
hat parent has not wondered, 'where did we go wrong?' What marriage has not=20=
been tested in these familial flames?"</FONT><FONT  COLOR=3D"#000000" style=
