La Cage Aux Folles
La Cage Aux Folles has successfully run for nearly a year now, and is undoubtedly the campest musical on the West End, sure to rekindle your love for glitzy dresses, and get you dancing in the isle with all the family.
It is a feel good cabaret for all ages, and a great nights entertainment. Best bits are the dancing male chorus that have sexier moves than Beyonce, and longer legs than Kate Moss. The songs are catchy; the story compelling leaving you feeling warm, fussy, and slightly gay.
With the fresh new cast including the fantastic John Barrowman it will no doubt keep raking in the crowds to watch this quirky musical for a long time to come.
