Sam Pinkleton directs a festive revival of ‘La Cage aux Folles” at Pasadena Playhouse, starring Cheyenne Jackson and Kevin Cahoon.

A new revival of “La Cage aux Folles” opened at the Pasadena Playhouse on Sunday, and the show is as glittering as a Macy’s shop window at Christmastime.

Perhaps that’s why I appreciated Cheyenne Jackson’s tender portrayal of Georges, the proprietor and emcee of the club called La Cage aux Folles, which is downstairs from where he lives with Albin.

I’m going all around L.A. and Austin, my boyfriend, is driving, and I got the aux.

For the first time, the festival has introduced the Aux stage, which features some of the UK’s most recognisable internet personalities.
