The touring company of La Cage Aux Folles , starring the one and only George Hamilton, has come to the Pantages Theater and taken Hollywood by glittery storm through July 22.

Georges is the suave owner of a glitzy drag club on the French Riviera. Partnered romantically with his high-strung star performer, Albin (who goes by the stage name Zaza), the pair live a charmed life until Georges' son, Jean-Michel, turns up engaged to the daughter of a conservative right-wing politician who's coming to dinner.

The production is pure delight with a glorious score of hummable melodies and a dynamite cast featuring the "notorious and dangerous Cagelles." La Cage Aux Folles is an indisputable musical comedy classic.

La Cage Aux Folles runs 2 hours and 40 minutes with one intermission and is suitable for audiences 14 and older.

Tickets may be purchased online at BroadwayLA.org; (800) 982-2787; in person at the Pantages Box Office, open daily from 10 a.m.; and all Ticketmaster outlets. The Pantages Theatre is located at 6233 Hollywood Boulevard, just east of Vine Street.
