Signature's La Cage Aux Folles

[GetUp&LiveIt]

Saw it last evening. It is a remarkable production, far superior to the last two revivals. I may be in the minority here but I hated Douglas Hodge's performance. Bobby Smith is hysterical and heartbreaking. In fact Brent Barrett and Bobby Smith are perfectly matched. The show was directed by Matthew Gardiner, who directed Signature's sensational revival of West Side Story this past winter. The whole production feels fresh and especially relevant in light of recent events. If you're in DC I strongly encourage you to check it out if you can get tickets. The Washington Post also just gave it a rave so I imagine tickets are going fast.
