TicketNetwork Advisory -- La Cage aux Folles Snags 11 Tony Nominations

VERNON, CT--(Marketwire - May 26, 2010) - Tony Award nominations were announced earlier this month, and leading the pack in number of nominations is La Cage aux Folles. The musical comedy garnered 11 nominations for the prestigious award, including Best Revival of a Musical, Best Performance by a Leading Actor in a Musical (both leads were nominated), Best Direction of a Musical and Best Choreography.

Kelsey Grammer and Douglas Hodge star in this revival of the original 1983 Broadway production, which won six Tony Awards and had a very successful run in London's West End. The show follows Georges (played by Grammer), whose son has just announced that he is getting married. The problem is that his fiancée's father is extremely conservative, and Georges and his drag queen lover (Hodge) run a drag nightclub in St. Tropez. And with that, hilarity ensues.

The show received rave reviews across the board, both from critics and audiences. Since opening on April 18, La Cage aux Folles tickets have grossed over $64 million, consistently filling the theatre nearly to capacity every night. And after the recent Tony nominations, tickets may be hard to get as its popularity grows.
