My first "La Cage..." on-stage experience
by lmdt on 6/20/12Broward Ctr for the Perf Arts Au Rene Theatre - Ft LauderdaleI've seen "La Cage aux Folles" in its movie form but never as a live theater production so I didn't know what to expect. I attended this performance with my two children (15 years old) and two visitors from Sweden and realized that they had no understanding of the play during the first half. I must admit, had I not seen the movie I also would have had difficulty following the plot. The second half was easier to follow since it was more of a 'play' rather than a 'musical' so the scenes were not broken up as much by the singing. George Hamilton was a wonderful 'Georges' as was Christopher Sieber as 'Albin.' For my childrens' first experience with 'drag queens,' it was a winner!
