La Cage Aux Folles - TNT

Once again this intimate venue has come up trumps with Terry Johnson's touching revival of Herman and Fierstein's 1983 Broadway hit. With enough frocks to fill the largest closet, Douglas Hodge's transvestite homosexual Albin is a petulant, mincing Bette Midler clone — until he whips off his wig to reveal a balding scalp. Philip Quast's elegant St Tropez nightclub owner Georges beautifully affirms his love for his more outré partner, while barely daring to touch his hand in public, and Jason Pennycooke's butler-cum-maid is a scream in tumble-high heels and tutu (discarded under protest when disapproving potential in-laws come to call). The flamboyant Cagelles in drag flaunt themselves shamelessly through the audience and a West End transfer beckons for this feel-good comedy musical.
