After a heated argument at home, a powerful storm whirls Dorothy into the land beyond the rainbow. There she meets her friends, the Tin Man, the Lion and the Straw Doll. All three are looking for a superpower that they desperately need. The Tin Man wants a heart, the Lion lacks courage and the Straw Doll wishes for brains. On their way through the land beyond the rainbow, they all realize that all these powers are already within them and Dorothy finds her way home.

Georges and Albin have been a couple for decades. Georges runs the drag club "La Cage aux Folles," where Albin, as the dazzling drag queen Zaza, enchants audiences night after night. Together, they raised Georges' son, Jean-Michel. Now he wants to marry Anne, the daughter of an arch-conservative politician who has the closure of all clubs on his agenda! The two families are to meet at a dinner party. Fun and disaster are guaranteed when different lifestyles and emotional worlds collide. And, let's just say this: both families have their secrets and quirks. The themes of "love," "tolerance," and "acceptance" are as relevant today as they were at the Broadway premiere forty years ago, because we still don't live in a world where everyone can be whoever and however they want to be.
