"We Need a Little Christmas" is a very popular #ChristmasSong originating from #JerryHerman's Broadway musical #Mame, and first performed by #AngelaLansbury in that 1966 production. In the musical, the song is performed after Mame has lost her fortune in the #WallStreetCrashOf1929, and decides that she, her young nephew Patrick, and her two household servants "need a little Christmas now" to cheer them up.

Finding Your Pride | “La Cage Aux Folles” @ Pasadena Playhouse https://cahighways.org/wordpress/?p=17056

Last night, we saw La Cage Aux Folles at the Pasadena Playhouse. A non-traditional take on the show: seedy low rent nightclub; the son was differently-abled. But it worked.

Marco Stücklin

Als 1978 die französische Filmkomödie „La Cage aux Folles“ in die Kinos kam, war dies der erste Welterfolg eines Films über die queere Szene. Der Ohrwurm Song „I am what I am“ drückt das Aufbegehren der Schwulenszene gegen die Unterdrückung und Diffamierung der Homosexuellen aus.
