In 1983, "La Cage aux Folles" was the first musical to deal with a homosexual theme. After its premiere on Broadway in New York, it conquered the stages of Europe within a few years. With its turbulent story, its shrill characters and its catchy music, it is still very popular today and remains timelessly relevant with its plea to trust your own feelings and live authentically.

A Cage Full of Fools (La Cage aux Folles)

Theater Nordhausen

Normally, the Marquise de Merteuil gets rid of her lovers. But it was different with the Comte de Gercourt, who ended the liaison. To take revenge on him, the Vicomte de Valmont, who is well-versed in all the arts of seduction, is supposed to take away Gercourt's virgin bride's innocence before the wedding. But Valmont feels called to greater things: he wants to make the modest Madame de Tourvel submissive and makes a bet with the Marquise, with whom he himself once had an affair: if he actually manages to seduce Tourvel, he and the Marquise will spend another night together. But the unscrupulous game of power and intrigue increasingly gets out of hand...
