The Menier Chocolate Factory

Cage for Christmas at the Menier

Following the success of its last two sold-out Christmas musicals, Sunday in the Park with George and Little Shop of Horrors, the Menier Chocolate Factory has announced that this year’s Christmas "extravaganza" will be La Cage aux Folles.

Terry Johnson, who is making his musical theatre directing debut, leads the creative team which is bringing this show to the London stage for the first time in 21 years.

Full casting will be announced soon.

Based on a French play by Jean Poiret which was then made into a hugely successful film, La Cage aux Folles tells the story of Albin and Georges, two middle-aged lovers who run a transvestite nightclub in St. Tropez where Albin’s alter ego ‘ZaZa’ is the star attraction. The plot revolves around the complications that develop when Georges’ son announces that he is getting married to the daughter of a local moral crusader. And her parents are coming to dinner to meet the future in-laws.

La Cage aux Folles previews from 23rd November to 2nd December and is booking until 8th March, 2008.
