This Tony-winning musical comedy tells a story of love, family, and acceptance—and, of course, the greatest drag show on the French Riviera! Emmy, Grammy, and Tony winner Billy Porter (Pose, Encores! Jelly’s Last Jam) stars as the fabulous Albin in this heartfelt show from Lifetime Achievement Tony Award winners Harvey Fierstein and Jerry Herman. Directed by Robert O’Hara (A Raisin in the Sun, Encores! Jelly’s Last Jam), this production features an all-star, all-Black cast.
Albin and Georges have been happily married for over 20 years, jointly running La Cage aux Folles, a drag nightclub in St. Tropez while also raising their son, Jean-Michel. Chaos and hilarity ensue when Jean-Michel decides to invite over his fiancée’s parents—who just so happen to be right-wing politicians. They’re in for a surprise, and “A Little More Mascara,” in this gem of a musical. This Encores! production will feature the lush original 1983 orchestrations, not heard live since the show’s original Broadway run.
2hr 45min. Incl. 1 intermission.
