** Played with. This is always usually averted for Jean-Michel who isn't really ashamed of his fathers or La Cage and couldn't love the life he had more. It's only with Anne that he attempts to cover up the truth considering her homophobic father would never want his daughter to marry the son of gay parents and that her inheritance of a dowry is contingent upon her father's approval.
** However, this was downplayed with Albin as Jean-Michel was growing up. As much as he loves his stepfather, Jean-Michel found Albin's hyper-effeminacy a tad humiliating. Whenever he wanted a shirt, Albin would buy him a blouse and Albin would insist they stroll hand-in-hand when in public as others would gawk and stare at them. That said, Jean-Michel would defend him and even took beatings from other children in doing so.

The show was a massive success on Broadway winning 6 Tony Awards including Best Musical. It is best known for its ground-breaking presentation of a happy, established gay couple, and for its proud message of tolerance (though ironically, for fear of offending any in the audience who disagree with ''the whole point of the show'', [[ButNotTooGay the couple never kisses or does anything more]]). Nevertheless, Georges and Albin are shown to be a generous, loving pair capable of caring for a child and for one another. Having countless revivals over the years, it continues to be an icon in musical theatre (and recently in the West End) with one of it's songs, "I Am What I Am", becoming a rallying cry of the Gay Pride movement.

* AmazinglyEmbarrassingParents: AlternateShowInterpretation: The acclaimed 2008 U.K. revival, which transferred to Broadway in 2010, is deliberately smaller-scale than the original CostumePorn and SceneryPorn-heavy 1983 Broadway staging that had become the precedent. This was something writers Harvey Fierstein and Jerry Herman had wanted for years; as Fierstein explains in the liner notes of the 2010 cast recording, "I wrote about a small drag club but what we've always given the audience was a full-blown Folies Bergere... I've witnessed a lot of productions focus more on the farce and less on the heart."
