SUMMARY:La Cage Aux Folles
DESCRIPTION:Written By: Book by Harvey Fierstein \, Music and Lyrics by Jerry Herman. Based on the play by Jean Poiret \nCreative Team: Directed by Ben Saunders\nMusical Direction: Tammy Papps\nChoreography: Jacinta Vistoli \n\nLa Cage aux Folles began life as a stage play in 1973 and was adapted into a wildly popular French film premiering in 1978 which was remade as The Birdcage\, starring Robin Williams and Nathan Lane\, in 1996. The musical opened on Broadway in 1983. \nIt is a wickedly funny musical farce about two gay men\, Georges and Albin\, who have had a relationship for over 20 years. The two men own a glamorous nightclub in St. Tropez where one is the star and the other the MC. Together they have raised Georges’ son\, the product of a one-night stand years ago. \nWhen Georges’ son\, Jean Michel\, brings home the daughter of a very conservative French politician and announces their impending marriage\, slapstick comedy ensues as everyone tries to pretend they are someone or something they are not. \nThe stuffy politician\, his wife\, and the innocent young couple who just want to get married provide an hilarious storyline while Georges and Albin define the best of friendship and love\, the kind that only gets stronger through the years. \nIn many ways\, this is an old-fashioned musical about old-fashioned family values…..with a twist! \n\nInformation Session: 11/11/2024\n7:45pm Maylands Church of Christ\, Portrush Rd Maylands \n\nAudition Information: \n\n\n\nAudition Information #:0\n\n\nDate:\n24/11/2024\n\n\nTime From – Time to:\n14:30 – 22:00\n\n\nAudition Information #:1\n\n\nDate:\n25/11/2024\n\n\nTime From – Time to:\n19:30 – 22:00\n\n\n\n  \n\n\n\nCharacter Descriptions #:0\n\n\nRole Name:\nGeorges\n\n\nGender:\nMale\n\n\nStage Age:\n\n\n\nRole Information:\na star; the heart of the show; mature and attractive (40 to 60); good singer;\nenergetic\, loving and caring; must move well.
