The best of times is now.

Cheyenne Jackson (Xanadu, Finian's Rainbow, Once Upon a Mattress, American Horror Story) and Tony nominee Kevin Cahoon (Shucked, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang) will head the cast of Pasadena Playhouse's production of the Tony-winning Jerry Herman musical La Cage aux Folles.

Directed by Sam Pinkleton (Oh, Mary!), previews will begin November 12 prior to an official opening November 17 for a limited engagement through December 15 at the California venue.

Jackson will play Georges with Cahoon as Albin. Additional casting will be announced.

Based on the play by Jean Poiret, La Cage has a book by Harvey Fierstein and music and lyrics by Herman. The musical opened on Broadway in August 1983, subsequently winning six Tony Awards, including Best Musical.

The upcoming production will also feature music direction by Darryl Archibald, choreography by Ani Taj, scenic design by David Zinn, costume design by David Reynoso, lighting design by Stacey Derosier, and sound design by Daniel Erdberg and Ursula Kwong Brown. Casting is by Ryan Bernard Tymensky.

La Cage aux Folles is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals.

Danny Feldman is the producing artistic director of Pasadena Playhouse, the State Theater of California and recipient of the 2023 Regional Theatre Tony Award.
