You can now get a first look at production footage of La Cage Aux Folles, now running as the final production of the Encores! season. See Billy Porter, Wayne Brady, and more as they take the stage.

Broadway’s stories, songs, and stages have always united people — across backgrounds, beliefs, and perspectives. Now, Broadway for Democracy is channeling that power to inspire participation in the democratic process. Through performances, nationwide events, and accessible resources, the organization is aiming to make it easier for everyone to register, vote, and get involved. One of the people behind this mission is none other than Broadway's very own Tony Vincent. Watch in this video as Tony chats more about the importance of being informed, engaging with government, and showing up to vote.

Rounding out the 2026 New York City Center Encores! season is La Cage Aux Folles, which just opened last night, June 17. This final production of this Encores! season will run for 15 performances through June 28. Check out photos of the cast in action here.
