Robert Goulet to join ‘La Cage’

The furs, spangles and boas apparently have been flying at the Broadway revival of “La Cage aux Folles.”

Daniel Davis, who plays the role of Georges in the Jerry Herman musical, has abruptly left the show and will be replaced by Robert Goulet, who famously debuted on Broadway in the original 1960 production of “Camelot.”

“Davis’ final performance was the Sunday matinee,” spokesman Michael Hartman said Monday.

Until Goulet joins the show, probably in mid- to late April, according to Hartman, the lead role of Georges will be played by Davis’ understudy, John Hillner.

On the record, no one was saying what happened, but there have been reports online and in gossip columns of friction between Davis and other members of the production, which opened in December and also stars Gary Beach as Albin, Georges’ lover. Davis is best known for playing the butler Niles in the long-running TV sitcom “The Nanny,” but he has extensive stage credits and is a former Tony Award nominee.
