LITTLETON — Theatre Up starts the season with a musical comedy The New York Times lauded as “a winning musical that celebrates love, laughter and wonderful excesses ... joyously engineered to entertain,” and after winning five Tony awards, “La Cage Aux Folles” remains one of musical theatre's all-time biggest hits.

With music and lyrics by Jerry Herman, who also wrote the music for “Hello Dolly” and “Mame,” and book by Harvey Fierstein (also known for “Hairspray” and “Newsies”) “La Cage Aux Folles” is based on the play by Jean Poiret.
