Spinning Tree Theatre concludes the 2019-20 season April 17 – May 3 with Broadway musical La Cage aux Folles, starring Broadway's Jerry Jay Cranford as Albin/Zaza. The 1983 musical, based on the 1973 French play of the same name by Jean Poiret, has music and lyrics by Jerry Herman and book by Harvey Fierstein. La Cage aux Folles won the 1984 Tony Award for Best Musical, and both Broadway revivals (2005 and 2010) won Tony Awards for Best Revival of a Musical.
The 20-year relationship between club owner Georges and head drag performer Albin faces a test when their son announces his engagement to the daughter of ultra-conservative parents. To please their son, Georges and Albin agree to hide their relationship and play it straight for a dinner with the potential in-laws. A fabulously fun musical featuring the iconic song “I Am What I Am” about family, identity and loving who you are.
