In La Cage Aux Folles, Jacob is Albin's and Georges' sassy, cross-dressing housekeeper whom Georges hired as a butler, but prefers to be called the maid. He is the comic-relief of the story who desires to be one of Les Cagelles, the club's "showgirls" and is arguably the show's most hilarious and underrated character. His voice range is usually baritone.
The Can-Can is from Jacques Offenbach's operetta, Orpheus in the Underworld (Orphée aux enfers).

Bird Cage "La cage aux folles" means literally "the cage of madwomen." "Folles," however, is also a slang term for effeminate homosexuals (queens). The expression does not really mean "birdcage," but it is impossible to translate effectively in one catchy phrase. It may help to realize that "bird" is British slang for woman, like "chick".
