(Authors Note: I have been blessed with seven honest, earn...)
Authors Note: I have been blessed with seven honest, earnest, free-tongues characters who, within these pages, willingly impart more of themselves to you than the closet friends would ever dare. I will therefore leave them to their story-telling with the briefest of Parental Guidance. Like a gaudy East Indian purse; outrageous in color, embroidered in cliche design, the worth of these plays lies ultimately in the tiny mirrors woven into the fabric wherein we catch our reflections. Perhaps you'll see a little of yourself on the phone with Arnold's "Why don't you love me anymore?" call. Or maybe find yourself in Laurel's "Just because I said that's what I want doesn't mean that I'm ready for it" logic. Or it might be while reading Mrs. Beckoff you'll stop and smile, "That's my Mother." Any little thing that makes you feel less alone is what and why these plays are. Not one of the characters you'll meet is "right." There are no answers forthcoming. But like an old familiar half heard song playing on a jukebox you might just catch a line that reaches out and touches something going on inside you. And for that instant you are relieved of the isolation. That is the worth of a Torch Song. That is the goal of these plays.

Winner! Best Revival of a Musical - 2010 Tony® Awards! WINNER! Outstanding Revival of a Musical - 2010 Outer Critics Circle Award WINNER! Outstanding Revival of a Musical - 2010 Drama Desk Award WINNER! Best Musical - 1984 Tony® Awards! Much revived, most recently in a 2010 production transferred to Broadway from London's Menier Chocolate Factory, La Cage Aux Folles remains one of the all time biggest hits, adding new dimension to the boulevard comedy. After twenty years of un-wedded bliss Georges and Albin, two men partnered for better-or-worse get a bit of both when Georges' son (fathered during a one-night fling) announces his impending marriage to the daughter of a bigoted, right-wing politician. Further complicating the situation is the 'family business': Albin and Georges run a drag nightclub in St. Tropez, where Albin is the "star" performer 'Zaza'. Georges reluctantly agrees to masquerade as "normal" when he meets the family of the bride-to-be. But Albin has other plans, with hilarious results.
