The cast of the Tony-winning revival of La Cage aux Folles will head into the studio on August 5 and 6 to record what’s being billed as a New Broadway Cast Recording to be released in late September by PS Classics. The recording will be produced by PS Classics co-founder Tommy Krasker, with label co-founder Philip Chaffin serving as executive producer.
Featuring a score by Jerry Herman, La Cage aux Folles recently made history as the first show to win the Tony three times for best production, including the original 1984 mounting and the 2005 and 2010 revivals. The current production at the Longacre Theatre, which opened on April 18, also won Tonys for Douglas Hodge (Best Actor) and Terry Johnson (Best Director).
In addition to Hodge, the cast of La Cage aux Folles includes Kelsey Grammer as Georges, Fred Applegate as M. Dindon/M. Renaud, Veanne Cox as Mme. Dindon/Mme. Renaud, Chris Hoch as Francis, Elena Shaddow as Anne, A.J. Shively as Jean-Michel, Christine Andreas as Jacqueline, Robin De Jesús as Jacob, Heather Lindell as Colette, Bill Nolte as Tabarro and David Nathan Perlow as Etienne. The Cagelles include Nick Adams, Nicholas Cunningham, Sean Patrick Doyle, Yurel Echezarreta, Logan Keslar and Terry Lavell. The production also features Christophe Caballero, Todd Lattimore, Dale Hensley, Caitlin Mundth and Cheryl Stern.
