Finding Your Pride | “La Cage Aux Folles” @ Pasadena Playhouse https://cahighways.org/wordpress/?p=17056

Last night, we saw La Cage Aux Folles at the Pasadena Playhouse. A non-traditional take on the show: seedy low rent nightclub; the son was differently-abled. But it worked.

Bühnen Bern: Standing Ovations für das Musical „La Cage aux Folles“
Marco Stücklin

Als 1978 die französische Filmkomödie „La Cage aux Folles“ in die Kinos kam, war dies der erste Welterfolg eines Films über die queere Szene.
