The long-awaited opening of La Cage! commenced on October 5. The Cinegrill Theater, which is secretly hidden behind a bookcase at the iconic Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles, was packed as audiences were transported to a world of glitz and glamor.

Performers dazzled with live vocals, costume changes, incredible dancing, and electrifying rhythms of a live band. As a tribute to the original La Cage aux Folles nightclub, the show celebrated the groundbreaking performers who blazed a trail for drag culture.
