What happens when the son of a drag club owner and his partner gets engaged to the daughter of a right-wing politician? Broadway welcomed back La Cage Aux Folles in a new revival from London in 2010. The musical is based on the beloved French film, which also served as the inspiration for the film The Birdcage. With music and lyrics from legend Jerry Herman and a book by Harvey Fierstein, this revival has continues to be a Broadway institution.
