How do you keep a hit musical running after an iconic duo departs? [Douglas Hodge, who won a 2010 Tony for his portrayal of Albin/Zaza in the Tony-winning revival of La Cage aux Folles, and Kelsey Grammer of Frasier fame who played Georges, bowed out in February.] Answer: You bring in another “must-see” twosome. A very must-see twosome.

La Cage is currently putting on the glitz with four-time Tony-winner Harvey Fierstein, once again bewigged and bedazzling as ZaZa and Jeffrey “Hey, now!” Tambor (The Larry Sanders Show; Arrested Development) as his dapper “other half.” And while Tambor is a familiar Broadway presence (Glengarry Glen Ross), it’s Fierstein’s nearly 30-year connection to La Cage that makes his debut as a leading performer in the show -- for which he won the writing Best Book of a Musical Tony in 1984 -- a groundbreaking moment in Broadway history.

And for you trivia buffs out there, in another brilliant casting coup, it was Fierstein who presented his predecessor-to-be Hodge with his 2010 Tony statuette! Now playing at the Longacre Theatre, 220 W. 48th St. For tickets, call 212-239-6200 or visit click here.
