New York Times
“A triumph! Kelsey Grammer and Douglas Hodge are equally disarming in Terry Johnson’s inspired production! Mr. Hodge makes a bravura Broadway debut and Mr. Grammer provides the ideal counterpoint. The ladies of La Cage have never looked more appealing: the Cagelles exude raw pleasure and the athletic production numbers are a delight.”
- Ben Brantley, The New York Times

The New Yorker
“Utterly absorbing and subversive! Director Terry Johnson focuses on the heart of the material, giving the text, and the actors, a new dimension. His production is something real, felt, and deep.”
- Hilton Als, The New Yorker

New York Post
“An absolute thrill! Douglas Hodge exposes the mix of rage, fear and uncertainty underneath Zaza’s sequins. Harvey Fierstein’s book still resonates, while Jerry Herman’s songs are downright unsinkable. The supporting cast is top-notch!”
- Elisabeth Vincentelli, New York Post

The Wall Street Journal
“Illuminating – and then some! Make plans to come back a second time. I have every intention of returning – it’s so good! Kelsey Grammer knows how to put a song across. Douglas Hodge is so outrageous that you’ll want to give him a great big hug! Lynne Page’s dance numbers are ingenious!”
- Terry Teachout, The Wall Street Journal

The Washington Post
“Undoubtedly a front-runner for best musical revival! The authenticity exuded by Kelsey Grammer and Douglas Hodge spreads a layer of pleasure over the proceedings. Hodge is an unstoppable comic authority. Grammer is effortlessly charming.”
- Peter Marks, The Washington Post

- Jesse Oxfeld, New York Observer

“Hilarious and deeply moving! Douglas Hodge is perfect, delivering a performance that is both hilarious and heartfelt. Kelsey Grammer proves to be an equal partner in carrying the show, and the Cagelles are impressively lithe and acrobatic!”
