La Cage aux Folles at Theatre At The Center

SouthtownStar - Highly Recommended

"...underneath its glamorous costume glitz by Nikki Delhomme, its razzle- dazzle choreography by Rudy Hogenmiller and the intoxicating delight of Jerry Herman's songs - such as "I Am What I Am," "With You on My Arm" and "The Best of Times" - the show's message about the importance of self-expression, love and the virtue of tolerance never goes out of style."

Windy City Times - Highly Recommended

"...It's been 20 years since “La Cage” debuted ( making the musical the same age, as the rock-solid marriage between George and Albin ) . Directed by Bill Pullinsi, it remains an inspiring, vibrant joy. Herman's music and lyrics and Fierstein's book are an evergreen mix of subversive irreverence, bawdy sight gags and innuendo and soaring melodies."

Chicago Free Press - Somewhat Recommended

"...This is a full-throttle musical that can soar if given wings. Instead it feels as if Bill Pullinsi has directed by the numbers. The result is occasionally listless. There are moments when the energy steps up to the play’s spirits, especially in the first-act can-can routine. But the choreography by Rudy Hogenmiller is mostly pedestrian—kick lines sprinkled with a few acrobatic explosions. The costumes by Nikki Delhomme are more Ringling Bros. than Vegas."

"...There is no greater treat in the theater than attending a show and knowing that the performers doing the show are having as much fun as the audience viewing the show. The current production at Theatre at the Center in Munster, Indiana (just a hop, skip and jump from downtown Chicago), "La Cage aux Follies" is just that treat, a slick production with dazzling costumes (by Nikki Delhomme), mind boggling choreography (by Rudy Hogenmiller) and a cast that is outstanding."

ChicagoCritic - Highly Recommended

"...Jerry Herman’s score is one of the finest every penned for the stage. Harvey Fierstein has created a loveable character in Albin that Jim Harms delivers him with heart, gusto and warmth making La Cage aux Folles a tremendous night of musical theatre."
