3 F / 7 M / Chorus of 2 F / 10 M / Extras
The book is written by Harvey Fierstein and based on the play by Jean Poiret. The music and Lyrics is written by Jerry Herman. This Tony Award winning play adds new dimensions to the boulevard comedy about homosexuals whose twenty years of domestic tranquillity are shattered when a son, fathered during a one-night fling, decides to marry the daughter of a bigoted politician. Albin and Georges run a transvestite nightclub in St. Tropez, where Albin is the featured performer Zaza. Georges agrees to masquerade as “normal” when he meets the father of the bride-to-be, with hilarious results.

We are what we are
A little more mascara
With Anne on my arm

Look over there
The best time
