“La Cage” Calls It Quits In Vegas
A good drag show is getting hard to find in Las Vegas.
When the performers of “An Evening at La Cage” took their bows Monday night, they had no idea it would be their last. It was after they left the stage that producer Norbert Aleman informed them that after 23 years, the show would not go on.
Apparently it was all too much for faux Paris Hilton who, according to reports, burst into tears. The show’s star Frank Marino was shocked, and his understudy refused to attend the farewell soiree in protest.
“La Cage” is the latest casualty of the declining economy and it won’t be the last.
The “ladies” of “Lucky Cheng’s Drag Cabaret” will shake a final tail feather on Sunday night at Harmon Theater. They’ll be replaced by “Magic’s a Drag” starring Cashetta, who hopes to find a niche as the city’s only female impersonator magician.
