LA CAGE AUX FOLLES

February 12-22, 2026

Book by Harvey Fierstein
Music and Lyrics by Jerry Herman
Based on the play by Jean Poiret

A groundbreaking musical comedy—making its Springfield debut!

This Tony Award-winning musical remains one of theatre’s most beloved hits—a heartwarming, hilarious tale of love, identity, and chosen family. Georges and Albin have shared 20 years of life, love, and showbiz at their St. Tropez drag nightclub, where Albin stars as the fabulous “Zaza.” But their world is turned upside down when Georges’ son announces his engagement… to the daughter of a fiercely conservative politician. As both families prepare to meet, Georges agrees to play it “straight”—but Albin has other ideas, leading to a riotously funny and deeply touching clash of worlds.

La Cage aux Folles is a joyful celebration of self-expression, family in all its forms, and the courage to live—and love—out loud.
