Synopsis |
|
Armand and Albert have a home life
many would envy. They share a
long-term committed relationship
encompassing their lives and careers
and have together raised Armand's
son Val. When Val announces his
engagement to the daughter of an
ultra-conservative U.S. Senator,
what choice is there but to accept
his decision with love? Meanwhile,
Senator Keeley and his wife are
watching his right-wing constituency
evaporate with the scandalous demise
of his closest political ally. A
visit to their future in-laws could
be just the thing to take the
public's focus off the Keeley's
messy predicament. With the
impending visit of his fiancee's
rigid family, Val asks his father to
straighten up the apartment just a
bit. All is entails is the removal
of Armand's art collection,
furnishings, clothes, job... and
Albert. This property, which started
as a French play, was made into a
French film (La Cage Aux Folles)
which spawned two sequels, this
American remake, and a Broadway
musical! |
