'La Cage aux Folles' at Villagers Theatre

If it's a drag, that's only to be expected; but it shouldn't be boring.

"La Cage Aux Folles" is on stage at Villagers Theatre, through Nov. 22. The show first appeared on Broadway in 1983, when it won six Tony Awards, including for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book. It has been revived many times since, most recently in a 2010 production that came to Broadway from London's Menier Chocolate Factory,

"La Cage Aux Folles" -- the title is French for "The Cage of Mad Women" -- tells the story of Georges and Albin, two unmarried gay partners whose lives grow complicated when Georges' son announces his impending marriage to the daughter of a bigoted, right-wing politician. Further complicating the situation is the family business: Albin and Georges run a drag nightclub in St. Tropez, where Albin performs under the name Zaza. Georges reluctantly agrees to masquerade as "normal" when he meets the family of the bride-to-be, but Albin has other plans, with hilarious results.

Directed by  Brian Remo, the Villagers production features Jim Jarrell  as Georges; Jeffrey O'Neill as Albin; Joey Carmanno as Georges' son, Jean-Michel; and many others. Showtimes are at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, and at 2 p.m. Sundays.

Tickets are available online; and cost $20 for adults, and $18 for seniors or students. Villagers Theatre is located at 475 DeMott Lane, Somerset.
