La Cage aux folles continues its tour in Québec in 2026 and 2027. This classic French comedy by Jean Poiret returns to the stage in a 100% Québécois adaptation by Sylvain Larocque and Joël Legendre, starring Marcel Leboeuf and Alex Perron. After its creation at the Studio Cabaret of Espace St-Denis in 2024 and more than 50 performances, the play will stop at the Casino de Montréal and several other venues across the province.

The Story of La Cage aux folles

Georges and Albin have been a committed couple for a long time. They run La Cage aux folles, a drag cabaret where Albin is the star performer. Their daily life is turned upside down by the announcement of their son Laurent's marriage to the daughter of a conservative politician. Expect laughter, mockery, and madness!

More than 50 years after its creation in Paris, this cult play has had an impressive career: a successful film in 1978, followed by a Broadway musical. The version presented in Québec is indeed a play, a comedy, and not the Broadway musical.

A Québécois Adaptation and a Cabaret Universe

The adaptation by Sylvain Larocque and Joël Legendre transposes the story into a Québécois setting, with Joël Legendre directing. The show lasts about 1 hour and 45 minutes, with an animated intermission. The production is by Guy Laforce and Zinc. Audiences will enjoy the crème de la crème of Québécois divas and drag queens: Rainbow, Michel Dorion, Tracy Trash, and Nana bring the cabaret atmosphere to life before the play and during the intermission.
