I can’t decide whether it’s wonderful or tragic that 20 years after its Broadway debut, La Cage aux Folles still packs an emotional punch.

It’s got a Boys in the Band whiff of the stale, but like that play, the musical today reminds us of how glacial progress can be.  READ LISA’S WHOLE REVIEW <<CLICK HERE>>
