'La Cage aux Folles' celebrates cross-dressing

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: Sequins, ostrich feathers, false eyelashes, silver-heeled tap shoes, wigs and guys in frocks and girdles take over the Benedum Center this week. Drag is on display in the national touring production of "La Cage aux Folles," the Tony Award-winning musical about St. Tropez nightclub owner Georges; his long-time partner Albin, who also is the club's star female impersonator, Zaza; and Georges' soon-to-be-married son, Jean-Michel, who was sired during Georges' youthful experimentation with a chorus girl.
