SINGAPORE, June 19, 2012 (Press-News.org) Singapore will stage a new production of the ever-popular musical spectacular La Cage aux Folles from July 20th to August 4th 2012.

The show - which was adapted for Broadway in 1983 from the original French play by Jean Poiret - is coming to the Esplanade Theatre with a local cast and a reworked story that relocates the action to Singapore.

La Cage aux Folles tells the story of George, suave owner of the eponymous nightclub, and his happy relationship with his long-term partner, the flamboyant drag queen Albin.

However, when the couple's son John announces that he is getting married to the daughter of a prominent conservative politician, it sets the stage for a meet-the-parents dinner filled with mishaps and mayhem.

The show won 11 Tony Awards and has proven an enduring hit, while the original story also spawned the Hollywood comedy The Birdcage, starring Robin Williams, Nathan Lane and Gene Hackman.

Prices for tickets range from S$35 to S$125 (GBP17.60 to GBP62.90), with performances taking place at 20:00 local time from Tuesdays to Saturdays and 15:00 on weekends.

2012-06-19

SANTA CRUZ, Ca.--A continued increase of Lyme disease in the United States, once linked to a recovering deer population, may instead be explained by a decline of the red fox, UC Santa Cruz researchers suggest in a new study.

The increase coincides with shrinking populations of the red fox, which feeds on small mammals, ...
