La Cage Aux Folles Play Tickets

See a modern play about love with La Cage Aux Folles tickets.  The play La Cage Aux Folle was written by Jean Poiret as well as starring Poiret and Michel Serrault, premiered on stage in 1973 and the cast put on more than 1,800 performances. Since then the play was adapted into a movie in 1978 that had two sequels as well as an American remake directed by Mike Nichols and starring Robin Williams and Nathan Lane.

Poiret was inspired by the 1966 play L’Escalier by Charles Dyer. Dyer’s play talks of an openly gay couple who operate a barbershop in London. The whole film is the two of them sniping and arguing at each other, but their mutual love is apparent by the film’s denouement. Poiret, along with Michel Serrault, had previously portrayed a gay couple in the television program La Cle des Champs. 

Watch an enduring comedy with La Cage Aux Folles tickets. In Poiret’s work, two homosexual people operate a transvestite cabaret called “La Cage Aux Folles.” In the play, Georges receives a letter that a son he had fathered during a heterosexual affair is getting married and the parents-in-law are extremely conservative and coming for a visit.

The play had much difficulty getting made because of the subject matter despite its popularity. In the end, the movie was co-produced in Italy, with frequent use of Italian actors and actresses instead of French. Despite its difficulty, the film did well at the box office.
