Based on the play by Jean Poiret, this musical edition features the very witty book of Harvey Fierstein and the delightful music & lyrics of Jerry Herman, - clearly a winning combination. That was a wonderful first experience of Goodspeed for me, and this La Cage was a wonderful welcome home.

Actress, Sheila Smith, and the great Broadway orchestrator, conductor (and one of my fellow members of The Lambs Club), Don Pippin, were collaborating there on a special Goodspeed event in connection with its production of MAME. The current Goodspeed Opera House production of La Cage Aux Folles is one of those times, and I think I have discovered that perhaps you really can, “…go home again.” Tucked away and off the beaten path in the little town of East Hadddam, Connecticut, it was in 2012 that I first had the pleasure of discovering this great theatre. There are rare times in the world of the theatre that all the elements just seem to come together perfectly. Jamison Stern as Zaza in Goodspeed Musicals’ LA CAGE AUX FOLLES
