Theatre UP Presents La Cage Aux Folles

Theatre UP kicks off the season with a beloved musical comedy The New York Times lauded as “a winning musical that celebrates love, laughter and wonderful excesses…joyously engineered to entertain,” La Cage Aux Folles remains one of musical theatre’s all-time biggest hits, winning five Tony Awards.

With music and lyrics by Jerry Herman (Hello Dolly, Mame) and a book by Harvey Fierstein (Hairspray, Newsies), La Cage Aux Folles is based on the play by Jean Poiret. Adding new dimensions to the traditional musical comedy, it’s a crowd-pleasing, rollicking, and heartwarming musical about family, commitment, show biz, and drag that remains one of musical theatre’s all-time biggest hits. Since its debut on Broadway in 1983, it has delighted audiences worldwide and is perhaps never more relevant than it is today.

Jerry Herman’s glittering show tunes overflow in the outrageous tale of a family of cabaret performers led by partners Georges and Albin. When their son brings home his fiancée and the future in-laws, the limits of love, parenthood, and mascara are put to the test. Tender romance and wild laughter are center stage as the Riviera’s most delicious drag nightclub bursts to life on the Littleton Opera House stage!

La Cage aux Folles runs November 3-12, 2023. Friday and Saturday performances are at 7:30 p.m., and Sunday matinee performances are at 2:00 p.m. Tickets range from $18-$22.00.
