La Cage Aux Folles (Musical)

La Cage Aux Folles (Musical) Book by Harvey Fierstein | Lyrics and music by Jerry Herman Directed by Ryan Taaffe Georges and his lover Albin, who stars as Zaza at their St. Tropez drag nightclub "La Cage aux Folles," have lived happily together for many years. Their apartment is also home to their "maid" Jacob. Georges' son Jean-Michel arrives with the news that he is engaged to Anne Dindon. Unfortunately, her father is head of the "Tradition, Family and Morality Party," whose stated goal is to close the local drag clubs. Anne's parents want to meet their daughter's future in-laws. Jean-Michel pleads with Albin to absent himself (and his flamboyantly gay behaviours) for the visit. He will invite Sybil (his mother) to dinner in Albin's stead. Albin's feelings are hurt. At the restaurant, the owner asks Albin for a song. As Zaza, Albin yields to the frenzy of performance and tears off his wig at the song's climax, revealing his true identity. Back at the apartment, the Dindons plead with their daughter to abandon her fiancé, but she is in love with Jean-Michel and refuses to leave him. Jean- Michel, deeply ashamed of the way he has treated Albin, asks his forgiveness. The Dindons prepare to depart, but their way is blocked by the press, ready to photograph these notorious anti-homosexual activists with Zaza. Georges and Albin have a proposal: If Anne and Jean-Michel may marry, Georges will help the Dindons escape through La Cage aux Folles next door. The Dindons do so, dressed in drag as members of the nightclub's revue, and all ends well.
