A classic comedy of errors is back on stage in New York City, as the Encore! series at City Center presents a revival of the 1973 hit musical La Cage aux Folles. Directed by Leigh Silverman, this production brings the zany story of a gay couple's struggles to navigate a potential adoption to life, featuring a book by Harvey Fierstein and music and lyrics by Jerry Herman. Critics and audiences alike are weighing in on the show, praising its witty humor, colorful characters, and energetic performances, but also questioning whether the show's themes and tone hold up in today's more progressive cultural landscape. With its lighthearted take on identity and relationships, La Cage aux Folles is a must-see for fans of musical theater and comedy alike.
