Billy Porter & Wayne Brady La Cage NYC
By Charlotte Robinson, June 10, 2026
New York City Center presents the Encores! production of La Cage Aux Folles starring Emmy, Grammy & Tony winner Billy Porter as the fabulous Albin & Wayne Brady as Georges June 17th through 28th. The iconic play is about longtime partners Albin & Georges who are proprietors of a vibrant drag nightclub in St. Tropez whose world turns upside down when their son brings home his fiancée’s conservative parents. What ensues is a whirlwind of farce & heart reminding us all of the importance of living authentically & proudly. This fabulous concert staging features legendary Broadway composer Jerry Herman’s lush original orchestrations not heard live since the show’s original run in 1983 from Lifetime Achievement Tony Award winners Harvey Fierstein & Herman. Featuring an all-black cast joining Porter & Wayne are Alaman Diadhiou, James Jackson Jr., Peter Francis James, Michael McElroy, Tonya Pinkins, Sharon Washington, Rachel Webb, Lance Coadie Williams, Jordan Alexander, Sai Anthony, Jordan Chin, Joshua Dawson, Jamal Christopher Douglas, Michael Samarie George, Aaron Graham, Ari Groover, Jaquez, Karma Jenkins, Christian Kidd, Kendall Lashanti, Andre Malcolm, Kareem Marsh, Morgan McGhee, Ernest Mingo, Wesley Ryan, Julian Amari Smith, Jordan Simone Stephens, Wade Watson, Anthony Wayne & Travon Williams. At the helm is director Robert O’Hara with guest music director Joseph Joubert, choreography by Edgar Godineaux & tap choreography by Dormeshia. This must-see Tony-winning La Cage Aux Folles revival is performed on stage by a 38-piece orchestra closing out the 2026 Encores! season.
New York City Center is dedicated to a culture built on the values of curiosity, collaboration, accessibility & inclusivity. Tickets start at $45.
