La Cage Aux Folles, which runs for just a few more days at the Pasadena Playhouse in California.Jackson plays Georges alongside Tony-nominee Kevin Cahoon as his partner, Albin. In the show, the characters are a couple who run a long-running drag revue bar. Albin, as a drag act, is the resident star attraction.
However, the couple pretends to be straight when George’s son from an earlier relationship announces he’s to marry the daughter of a ring-wing politician. On Instagram yesterday, Jackson revealed a touching detail about the show’s set. One of the interior walls is covered in framed photos of queer icons.
He gave a shoutout to the set designed and highlighted a couple of the people included–both dear, late friends of his.

Some are still with us, some have passed,” he said.“He kindly placed my two beloved besties @thelesliejordan and @realgavincreel right next to me because I do most of my scenes stage right.
I’m so grateful to him for his love, sensitivity, and artistry.”“If you’ve seen the show, you’ll have seen these walls. But I encourage you to zoom in and see how many queer icons you can spot. They watch over our show every night.
