Evolution of La Cage Aux Folles
Terrific explaination of the evolution of the hit musical La Cage Aux Folles. Beginning with a modest British play titled "Staircase" in the early 60's to a movie of the same title starring Richard Burton and Rex Harrison a few years later. They on to becoming a hit musical decades later. Along the way we discuss Hollywood contracts, copyright laws, President Regan, Harvey Fierstein, Nathan Lane, Canadian laws regarding drag queens removing their wigs, and so much more....its a fun listen to.
