LA CAGE AUX FOLLES (East West Players)

**Nominee, Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award for Best Costume Design***

music: Jerry Herman; book: Harvey Fierstein; dir: Tim Dang; scenic: Victoria Petrovich; lighting: Karyn Lawrence

The musical tells the story of a flamboyant gay couple who pretend to be straight for one night — with one of the men in drag — to dupe the conservative political family of their son's fiancee.

"...Tran’s costumes earn the production’s highest design marks, from Les Cagelles’ sequins, feathers, and some skintight leotards (revealing nothing but expert tucking), to Zaza’s fabulous gowns, each more gorgeous than the next, to the Dindons’ more conservative wear."  (Steven Stanley, StageSceneLA)

"Clad in Anthony Tran’s inventive costumes, the cast embraces choreographer Reggie Lee’s patterns with panache." (David Nichols, LA Times)

"Anthony Tran's striking and colorful costumes appropriately run the gamut from showgirl to conservative matron to Madonna coned one-pieces."  (Gil Kaan, BroadwayWorld)
