A note from the author We put this AVMovie together (a compilation of still photos and video clips) to show off London theatres as they are seen most often by theatre goers – by night. Thanks to Ben Shafik for his lighthearted and informative commentary and Fionn O'Lochlainn for the original music. Watch out for the new version with current liveries and the names of the theatres as they appear. Baxter |

Here we have a spash of colour with a mix of family love and politics with not a little intrigue.
At last a musical to sweep away those credit-crunch blues.
'This joyous show deserves every hurrah and standing ovation it receives’
Daily Telegraph
The Story
Georges is a dazzling drag artiste known as Albin, star of the' La Cage aux Folles Club', is threatened when a right-wing politician, wants to close down the local colourful nightlife!
Then Georges’ son announces his engagement to the daughter of this baddie. Their visit from the prospective in-laws looms and they all decide to take serious action and to hide their lifestyle... For a pastiche they could pull it off but having failed to think through the future how can they keep up the complex charade?
Jerry Herman’ wrote an undoubtedly fabulous score which includes' I Am What I Am', 'The Best of Times' and 'Song on the Sand'.
La Cage aux Folles is charmingly funny. It tells the tale of family values, tremendous love that rise above lifestyle anyway.
