REVIEWS
"The Ogunquit Playhouse is celebrating its 75thDiamond Jubilee Anniversary Season in grand style with a sparkling production of La Cage aux Folles...the team at Ogunquit has excelled with its cast, direction, and costume design that truly dazzles...a terrific production." - BroadwayWorld.com
LaCage aux Folles scores an impressive win at Ogunquit Playhouse and will undoubtedly continue to reign triumphant; convincing us that the pursuit of living happily ever after, should never just be an illusion for anyone. Four stars." - Foster's Daily Democrat
"My advice would be to see (LaCage aux Folles) at least twice. Once for the plot and acting and once for all the awesome costumes and theatrics."
"Caulfield's Song on the Sand takes the entire audience with him, and Beaman's I Am What I Am literally steals the show... The dance numbers are spectacular... costumes are so wonderfully done that they make great dance numbers even better... If you want to see a show that will leave you feeling happier than when you entered the theatre, this is it. Go see it now." - GayOgunquit.com

Georges is the owner of the La Cage Aux Folles nightclub, which features a drag show starring his partner and the love of his life, Albin. After twenty years of un-wedded bliss, Georges and his partner Albin face the hardest challenge of their relationship, yet: meeting their son, Jean-Michel’s fiance’s parents. Albin has always raised Jean-Michel, Georges’ biological son, as his own. But when Jean-Michel falls in love and becomes engaged to the daughter of an ultra-conservative, anti-gay politician, Georges feels compelled to try to present a more “traditional” family to Jean-Michel’s potential in-laws. When Albin tries and fails to take on a masculine persona in the role of Uncle Al, he gets more creative in order to find a way to be part of the “meet the parents” experience. Based on Jean Poiret’s 1973 French play of the same name, the multi-Tony award-winning La Cage Aux Folles is a musical filled with delightful spectacle and great heart.
