Book by Harvey Fierstein
Directed by Julianna Skluzacek
Choreographer – Shari Setchell
Music Director – Eric Parrish
Starring Michael Lambert and Eric Parrish, this musical comedy won Tony Awards in 1984 and for its revival in 2010. It’s the hilarious story of Georges and Albin, two men partnered for better or worse. It all comes apart when Albin’s son announces his impending mar- riage to the daughter of a bigoted politician. Further complications include the family business: a nightclub for female impersonators. Georges agrees to masquerade as “normal” to meet the girl’s parents but Albin has other plans. It all ends up in a wild romp. The hit movie comedy “The Bird Cage” was based on this musical.
