Georges and Albin are a happy couple, living above the St. Tropez nightclub La Cage aux Folles, which Georges owns and where Albin is the transvestite star turn. Then Georges' son - the product of a one-night stand - decides to introduce his fiancee's conservative parents to his unconventional family. La Cage aux Folles has so many brilliant comic set-pieces that it even survived being made into a Robin Williams film (the non-singing Birdcage), but the stage musical remains the perfect way to enjoy it, especially when the production comes from the Menier Chocolate Factory, this show at the Playhouse just the latest in a string of successful West End transfers. It's packed with fantastic tunes from Jerry Herman (the climactic song I Am What I Am was a massive chart success), the script matches Some Like it Hot for wit, there are numerous high-kicking dance numbers and, though it has lost its power to shock in the last two decades, La Cage aux Folles remains a perfect piece of feel-good comedy.About Playhouse Theatre
A short step away from the main strip of West End theatres, the Playhouse's stylish curved facade is rather lost among the towering architecture of Charing Cross and Embankment. If the exterior is a little too restrained however, the same cannot be said for the auditorium, which is a sumptuous tribute to theatrical excess. More about Playhouse Theatre
