tampabay.com – By John Fleming, Times Performing Arts Critic

Tampa – La Cage aux Folles is like the full employment act for drag queens. Sometimes, a woman is slipped into the well-muscled chorus line at the naughty nightclub on the French Riviera, but darned if I could tell if there was any double gender bending in the revival that opened Tuesday at the Straz Center for the Performing Arts. This is one show where the wig and makeup designer (Richard Mawbey) gets prominent billing, and deserves it.
