AUDITORIUM

This is the original, not the remake with Robin Williams. This is shorter and much funnier. It's a farce set in a drag bar (La Cage aux Folles), run by a gay couple: Renato, the owner, and Albin, the star attraction. Albin suspects Renato of cheating on him with a younger man, but the reality is more complicated, leading to riotous confusion and shifting identities as the couple prepare for the wedding of the century. To say more would be to spoil the fun. So, ignore the criticisms of stereotyping and that not all the players are gay - just enjoy the campest of capers from 50 years ago.
