LA CAGE AUX FOLLES
February 2009

What a spectacular start for our 90th Birthday! In February 2009 Auckland Music Theatre will present the multi Tony award winning show LA CAGE AUX FOLLES. Albin and Georges are lovers as well as popular female impersonators starring in the drag queen show, Les Cagelles. Problems arise when Georges' twenty-five year old son, Jean-Michel, a result from a brief encounter years back, announces that he is engaged to Anne Dindon, the daughter of a well-known homophobic politician, Edouard Dindon. Anne's parents want to come and meet Jean-Michel's mother and father. Little do they know that Albin, a man, has essentially been Jean-Michel's mother figure his whole life. Jean-Michel wants to keep Albin away from the Dindon's but Albin is hurt and insists on making an appearance. In the end, due to a little blackmail, the Dindon's are forced to accept Jean-Michel into their family.

Rehearsal will start in December 2008, with auditions in October.
