Broadway Veteran Brent Barrett to Lead Signature Theatre's La Cage aux Folles

Signature Theatre has announced the cast of its upcoming La Cage aux Folles, directed and choreographed by Signature Associate Artistic Director Matthew Gardiner. This beloved musical comedy will run May 31-July 10 in Signature’s MAX Theatre.

With an iconic score by Jerry Herman, featuring "I Am What I Am" and "The Best of Times," and a book by Harvey Fierstein, La Cage aux Folles follows the twenty year relationship between Albin, the lead drag performer of The Saint-Tropez Night Club on the French Riviera, and Georges, the club’s owner. Georges faces a test when their son announces his engagement to the daughter of ultra-conservative political parents.

The production will star Bobby Smith as Albin and Brent Barrett (Chicago) as Georges. Smith and Barrett are joined in the cast by Jessica Lauren Ball as Anne Dindon, Michael Bunce as Francis, Sherri L. Edelen as Marie Dindon/Mme Renaud, Mitchell Hébert as Monsieur Dindon/Mr. Renaud, Nova Y. Payton as Jacqueline, DJ Petrosino as Jacob, and Paul Scanlan as Jean Michel. The Cagelles will feature Sam Brackley, Darius Delk, Ethan Kasnett, Isaiah W. Young, Phil Young, and Jay Westin.

The creative team includes musical direction by Darius Smith, scenic design by Lee Savage, costume design by Frank Labovitz, lighting design by Jason Lyons, and sound design by Lane Elms.
