Old Show Queens - Episode 2 - The Original Production of La Cage aux Folles

A general manager and producer (who worked on shows including Woman of the Year, La Cage aux Folles, and The Who’s Tommy) and a playwright and executive producer of cast albums (including Ragtime, Caroline, or Change, and The Last Five Years), Gary Gunas and Billy Rosenfield recently sat down with Andrew Hawkins and Jeff Marx in their London home to share their memories of the end of the Golden Age of Broadway. In Chapter 2, they reminisce about watching the original Broadway production of La Cage aux Folles come together!

How lovely. The Fritz Holt anecdote reminded me of the first day of Bar Mitzvah Boy rehearsals in the West End. I was in the ensemble. Martin Charnin did exactly the same thing. Named everyone in the room, without once looking at his notes. I was so very impressed.
