Winner of 11 Broadway Tony Awards, the rollicking romping fun hit musical LA CAGE AUX FOLLES is playing the Arts Centre Melbourne for a limited season from 9 November.

A timeless and enduring story of love, commitment, family, and acceptance; that the Hollywood movie ‘THE BIRDCAGE’  was  based on.

An all-new Australian production starring five time Helpmann Award winner PAUL CAPSIS (Cabaret The Musical, Head-On)  in the role of Albin and MICHAEL CORMICK (The Phantom of the Opera, Beauty and the Beast) as Georges his partner with  an all-star cast including DEBRA BYRNE (Sunset Blvd, Les Miserables), PETER PHELPS ( Stingers, The Flying Doctors) and GENEVIEVE MORRIS (Ride Like A Girl, Comedy Inc). 

Written by HARVEY FIERSTEIN (Kinky Boots, Torch Song Trilogy) and JERRY HERMAN (Hello Dolly, Mame). Based on the French play La Cage aux Folles by JEAN POIRET.

The musical that gave us the hit song and anthem ‘I AM WHAT I AM’.

Get ready for an all singing, all dancing, all laughing journey to the night life of St Tropez in the south of France.
