Hodge and Lawson Return to La Cage
| Olivier Award winner Douglas Hodge will return to the Playhouse Theatre as ‘Albin’, the star turn of the La Cage nightclub when he appears as his alter-ego, drag queen ‘Zaza’. The producers of La Cage Aux Folles are also delighted to welcome back Denis Lawson as club owner and Albin’s lover ‘Georges’. The pair will return for a strictly limited 5 week season from 30th November 2009 as the show celebrates its first birthday at the Playhouse Theatre. The original London revival opened in January 2008 at the Menier Chocolate Factory with critical acclaim for Douglas Hodge’s portrayal of ‘Albin’. | |

A Colourful StoryGeorges and Albin have colourful lives. Georges is master of ceremonies, whilst his partner Albin is the flamboyant drag queen 'Zaza' at hot St Tropez nightclub La Cage. When Georges grown-up son arrives home with the news that he is getting married to the daughter of a conservative politician their idyllic existence is threatened; especially when the prospective father-in-law’s goal is to close down the local drag clubs! | |
