La Cage aux Folles The Musical
The Sensational Musical Comedy
Background & Historical Significance
La Cage aux Folles is a landmark musical with music and lyrics by Jerry Herman and a book by Harvey Fierstein, based on the 1973 French play of the same name by Jean Poiret. Set in the glittering, sun-drenched world of a drag nightclub in Saint-Tropez, the show tells the story of Georges and Albin — a gay couple who have lived and loved together for over twenty years — whose lives are upended by a farcical collision between their flamboyant world and the rigid hypocrisy of a far-right politician.
Opening on Broadway in 1983, La Cage aux Folles made history by becoming the first hit Broadway musical centred on a homosexual relationship. At a time when the AIDS crisis was intensifying homophobia across America and the wider world, the show’s decision to present its gay couple as loving, dignified, and fundamentally relatable was an act of quiet but profound cultural courage. Its Act One finale, “I Am What I Am,” was rapidly embraced as a gay anthem, recorded by artists from Gloria Gaynor to Shirley Bassey, and became a rallying call for the emerging Gay Pride movement worldwide.
The original Broadway production ran for more than four years, accumulating 1,761 performances and winning six Tony Awards, including Best Musical, Best Book, and Best Score. The show has since been revived on Broadway twice, each time winning the Tony for Best Revival — making it the first musical in history to win that award on two separate occasions. It has also won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Musical Revival and been produced in dozens of countries around the world.
Creation: How La Cage Was Made
The road to the Palace Theatre was anything but straightforward. Producer Allan Carr — who had produced the enormously successful film adaptation of Grease (1978) — was eager to make his Broadway debut. He believed a musical version of the popular 1978 French film La Cage aux Folles would be the ideal vehicle, but was unable to secure the film rights and had to settle for the rights to Jean Poiret’s original stage play instead.
Carr’s first attempt at assembling a creative team ended badly. He hired Jay Presson Allen to write the book for an Americanised version called The Queen of Basin Street, set in New Orleans, with Maury Yeston composing the score, Mike Nichols set to direct, and Tommy Tune as choreographer. When Carr brought in executive producers Fritz Holt and Barry Brown, they immediately dismissed the entire creative team Carr had assembled. Legal action followed from all parties; Yeston alone prevailed and later received a modest ongoing royalty from the production.
Holt and Brown approached director Arthur Laurents — who had directed the celebrated 1974 revival of Gypsy — though Laurents was openly sceptical. He had little enthusiasm for drag entertainment and privately doubted whether investors could be found for a gay-themed project during the early years of the AIDS epidemic. He agreed primarily out of loyalty to Holt and Brown as friends, but his interest sharpened considerably when he learned that Harvey Fierstein and Jerry Herman had committed to the project.
Writing the Show
The three principal creative figures — Fierstein, Herman, and Laurents — met daily in Herman’s Manhattan townhouse to develop the musical. Working only from the Poiret play (not the film) meant they had to create the character of Jean-Michel’s birth mother from scratch and focus the story’s emotional heart on the remarkable fact that the relationship between Georges and Albin was so natural and enduring that their son could genuinely regard a man as his mother.
All three agreed that Albin needed to be as glamorous as possible, and the celebrated costume designer Theoni V. Aldredge was engaged to realise that vision. The team also agreed from the outset that rather than creating what Laurents described as “a polemic diatribe on gay rights,” they would take Herman’s instinct for warm, mainstream, emotionally generous entertainment and deliver their message through a show that, as Herman wrote in his memoir Showtune, was “a charming, colorful, great-looking musical comedy — an old-fashioned piece of entertainment.” The team’s view was that by delivering their sentiments in an entertaining rather than confrontational manner, they would reach and move a far wider audience.
The Birth of “I Am What I Am”
There are differing accounts of how the show’s most celebrated number came to be. According to Laurents, when he first met Fierstein and Herman the only musical material in existence was Herman’s song “I Am What I Am,” and Laurents immediately envisioned it as an emotional outburst closing Act One. Herman’s own account, given in interviews included with the original cast recording, credits Fierstein with arriving one day with a fiery dramatic scene he had written for the Act One finale, which contained the five words “I am what I am.” Delighted, Herman reportedly asked if he could use those words, promised a finished song by morning — and delivered it.
The Boston Try-Out
The production undertook a pre-Broadway try-out in Boston. Just before the second preview (the first had been cancelled due to mechanical set problems), Herman suffered a panic attack, fearing that the city would be too conservative to respond warmly to a gay-themed musical. In the event, Boston audiences were enthusiastic. During the try-out, the creative team grappled with whether to have Georges and Albin physically demonstrate their affection on stage. Fierstein suggested they kiss on the cheeks; Laurents, noting that French men routinely kiss each other on both cheeks as a social custom, agreed.
The other significant pre-opening challenge involved Gene Barry, who played Georges. By general consensus, Barry was considered adequate but not outstanding in the role, and there was serious discussion about replacing him before opening night. Ultimately Laurents found a directorial solution: he instructed Barry always to look directly into George Hearn’s eyes whenever both men were on stage, so the audience would feel the depth of the couple’s bond. He also gave Georges’s introductions of the nightclub acts more musical flourish. These adjustments proved transformative. Barry went on to receive a Tony nomination for Best Actor, while his co-star Hearn took the award.
The Plot: A Comedy in Two Acts
The story unfolds in and around La Cage aux Folles, a celebrated drag nightclub on the glamorous Promenade in Saint-Tropez, France, run by Georges and starring his partner Albin as the fabulous drag queen Zaza.
Georges welcomes the audience to his beloved nightclub, introducing Les Cagelles — the show’s glamorous ensemble of drag performers. We learn that Georges and Albin have lived and loved together above the club for many years, sharing their home with their flamboyant “maid” Jacob. Their domestic contentment is shattered when Georges’s 24-year-old son Jean-Michel — the product of a long-past heterosexual liaison — arrives with the news that he intends to marry Anne Dindon. The complication: Anne’s father is Edouard Dindon, a prominent ultra-conservative politician whose stated political mission is the closure of drag nightclubs like La Cage aux Folles.
Jean-Michel asks his father to pass Albin off as his uncle for the Dindons’ visit and to hide the truth about their life. When Albin learns of this plan, he is devastated. After failing to suppress his feelings of hurt, he takes the stage alone, announces who he is, and defiantly declares that he refuses to be ashamed. As Act One ends, Albin storms out, throwing his wig at Georges in fury.
Georges eventually persuades Albin to return and impersonate Jean-Michel’s respectable, pearl-wearing “mother” for the Dindons’ visit. After elaborate preparations, the dinner descends into farce: the Dindons arrive, Jacob burns the food, and the party adjourns to the restaurant Chez Jacqueline, owned by their old friend. There, Jacqueline unwittingly asks Albin to perform, and in an unguarded moment of joy and professional instinct, Albin tears off his wig and reveals himself as Zaza.
The Dindons are appalled and demand Anne leave Jean-Michel, but she refuses. Jean-Michel, ashamed of how he has treated Albin, begs his forgiveness and receives it. When the Dindons try to escape the media now gathered outside — tipped off by the arrival of the notorious anti-gay politician at a drag establishment — Georges offers them a way out through La Cage itself. In the farcical finale, the Dindons escape the photographers disguised as members of Les Cagelles, and the story ends with Georges and Albin reunited, their love as strong as ever.

Original Broadway Production (1983–1987)
Palace Theatre, New York — Opening Night: 21 August 1983
The original production opened at the Palace Theatre on 21 August 1983, directed by Arthur Laurents and choreographed by Scott Salmon. Set design was by David Mitchell, costumes by the legendary Theoni V. Aldredge, and lighting by Jules Fisher.
Original Cast
Gene Barry as Georges · George Hearn as Albin · John Weiner as Jean-Michel · Jay Garner as Edouard Dindon · Merle Louise as Mme. Dindon · Elizabeth Parrish as Jacqueline · Leslie Stevens as Anne · William Thomas Jr. as Jacob
Notable Replacements (1983–1987)
Albin: Walter Charles · Lee Roy Reams
Georges: Van Johnson · Peter Marshall · Keith Michell · Jamie Ross
Run & Legacy
The original production ran for four years and 1,761 performances, closing on 15 November 1987. It received nine Tony Award nominations, winning six — beating strong competition including Stephen Sondheim’s Sunday in the Park with George in several categories. Theatre historian John Kenrick noted that following La Cage and Big River in 1985, it would be “the first time since Oklahoma!” that a full decade would pass without a new American musical reaching 1,000 performances.
Original West End Production (1986)
Opening Night: 7 May 1986 — 301 Performances
The show had its West End premiere at the iconic London Palladium on 7 May 1986, using the same creative team as the Broadway production. George Hearn transferred from the Broadway cast as Albin — made possible through an agreement between the American and British actors’ unions, in which Hearn came to London in exchange for Robert Lindsay appearing in Me and My Girl on Broadway.
West End Cast
George Hearn as Albin · Denis Quilley as Georges · Jonathon Morris as Jean-Michel · Brian Glover as Edouard Dindon · Julia Sutton as Mme. Dindon · Phyllida Law as Jacqueline · Wendy Roe as Anne · Donald Waugh as Jacob
Reception & Closure
The London production closed after 301 performances. Its shorter-than-expected run and financial difficulties were partly attributed to the intensifying AIDS crisis, which created a climate in which mainstream producers were reluctant to publicly celebrate gay lives on stage. The show’s London failure had a chilling effect on the genre for some years.
First Broadway Revival (2004–2005)
Marquis Theatre — Opening Night: 9 December 2004
The first Broadway revival opened at the Marquis Theatre, beginning previews on 11 November 2004 and opening officially on 9 December 2004. Direction was by Jerry Zaks, choreography by Jerry Mitchell, with design by Scott Pask, Donald Holder, and costumes by William Ivey Long.
Cast
Gary Beach as Albin · Daniel Davis as Georges · Gavin Creel as Jean-Michel · Michael Mulheren as Edouard Dindon · Linda Balgord as Mme. Dindon · Ruth Williamson as Jacqueline · Angela Gaylor as Anne · Michael Benjamin Washington as Jacob
Notable Replacements: John Hillner and then Robert Goulet replaced Daniel Davis as Georges (from April 2005 until closing).
Reception & Run
The revival received mixed critical notices, with the New York Times observing it went through the motions of the material “amiably but robotically,” though it singled out Les Cagelles for particular praise. Despite winning the Tony for Best Revival, ticket sales did not improve post-award and the production had been running below 60% capacity for months before its closure on 26 June 2005.
West End Revival: Menier Chocolate Factory & Playhouse Theatre (2008–2010)
Menier Chocolate Factory (Jan–Mar 2008) → Playhouse Theatre (Oct 2008–Jan 2010)
A striking scaled-down revival, directed by Terry Johnson and choreographed by Lynne Page, opened at the intimate Menier Chocolate Factory on 8 January 2008. The production starred Philip Quast as Georges and Douglas Hodge as Albin, with Neil McDermott, Iain Mitchell, and Una Stubbs also in the cast. It received mostly positive notices, with particular praise for Hodge’s performance.
The production transferred to the Playhouse Theatre in the West End on 20 October 2008, co-produced with Sonia Friedman Productions. The transfer starred Douglas Hodge as Albin alongside Denis Lawson as Georges, with Iain Mitchell, Paula Wilcox, and Tracie Bennett as Jacqueline. What had been advertised as a strictly limited twelve-week season became an open-ended run due to its exceptional success. The production gathered rave reviews and won the Laurence Olivier Award for Best Musical Revival, with Hodge also winning Best Actor in a Musical.

The leads were recast every three months to sustain public interest:
Jan–May 2009: Graham Norton as Albin · Steven Pacey as Georges
May–Sep 2009: Roger Allam as Albin · Philip Quast as Georges (reprising his Menier role)
Sep–Nov 2009: John Barrowman as Albin · Simon Burke as Georges

The acclaimed Menier/Playhouse Theatre production transferred to Broadway at the Longacre Theatre, beginning previews on 6 April 2010 and opening officially on 18 April 2010. The production was again directed by Terry Johnson and choreographed by Lynne Page, with set design by Tim Shortall, costumes by Matthew Wright, lighting by Nick Richings, and scaled-down eight-player orchestrations by Jason Carr.

Critical Reception & Cultural Legacy
The original 1983 production was met with widespread critical enthusiasm. The New York Times‘s Frank Rich praised the show on opening night, and the response from both critics and audiences helped make the 1983 Broadway season one of the strongest in memory. Theatre historian John Kenrick noted that La Cage and Big River together defined a high watermark for American musical theatre in the mid-1980s.
The 2008 West End revival at the Menier Chocolate Factory and subsequent Playhouse Theatre run received some of the strongest reviews of any La Cage production. The scaled-down, emotionally intimate approach was widely praised, with Michael Billington of The Guardian noting that the show had improved on its transfer from Menier to the West End. Whatsonstage.com called it “a great Broadway show reborn as a classic musical comedy with real punch and pizzazz.” Douglas Hodge’s performance as Albin was universally singled out as exceptional.
The 2010 Broadway revival also drew strong notices. Reviewers praised both the intimacy of the scaled-down production and the chemistry between Hodge and Kelsey Grammer, the latter making an unexpectedly touching impression in what had been seen as a risky piece of celebrity casting.
Beyond its critical reception, the show’s lasting cultural significance rests on two foundations: its historic role as the first hit Broadway musical to centre gay love at a time of intense social hostility; and the enduring reach of “I Am What I Am,” which entered the vocabulary of the Gay Pride movement and has been sung as an anthem of self-acceptance in contexts far beyond the theatre.
