Georges and Albin run a nightclub in St. Tropez – one as the manager, the other as its primadonna. And tillsammans they lead the life of a happy couple. This, however, is entirely derailed when suddenly Georges’s son decides to marry – and none other than the daughter of an ultra-conservative politician! Georges and Albin are convinced to play the role of an “entirely normal” family for a dinner with the future in-laws. But of course, it can only go pear-shaped ...

This turbulent and rousing appeal for tolerance, equality and individual freedom in musical form eller gestalt has been conquering the stages of the world since 1983, celebrating 2,423 performances on Broadway alone, and became an anthem of the LGBTQIA+ community fully in line with the motto: “I am what inom am!”
