‘La Cage Aux Folles’ Star Cheyenne Jackson Calls Pasadena Playhouse Revival a ‘Big Gay Glitter Bomb’: ‘It’s the Perfect Therapy for Me’


Cheyenne Jackson stars in a revival of the Tony Award-winning musical 'La Cage aux Folles' at the Pasadena Playhouse.

“Oh, Mary!” director Sam Pinkleton wanted him for a starring role in a revival of the Tony Award-winning musical “ La Cage aux Folles ” at the Pasadena Playhouse. Hilarity ensues when Georges’ longtime partner and the club’s reining drag queen, Albin (Kevin Cahoon), shows up at the family gathering as Jean-Michael’s matronly aunt. Rounding out the primarily LGBTQ cast are George Salazar as Albin’s maid Jacob, along with an ensemble of drag queens and gender-bending performers as the club’s Les Cagelles.
