Albert would 100% be a fan of Downton Abbey, and the Dowager would absolutely be his favorite character

The song Albert is singing is called “Little Dream” written by Stephen Sondheim-but he wrote it specifically for The Birdcage

Nathan Lane should get more props for this than he does. I know Robin Williams left us far too soon, but Nathan is still here and we should let him know we love him, too. Such a talent. Singing, dancing, acting, wearing those HEELS! Albert is the epitome of a drag queen, a diva, but somehow he also is human and not a caricature. That's why we believe the tender scenes with Armand as well as this hilarity. That's the genius of Nathan Lane's performance.

Specially made dance shoes. Maybe just for this movie and his stage scenes in this movie. A lot of professional dancers wear those those kind of heels and because he's built differently than a woman, he has thicker heels. If it were women's professional dance heels, the heel would be a bit thinner. And I bet during takes, he either took them off or rested his feet because the straps looked too tight around his ankles.

This flick makes me cry tears throughout the entire movie. "WHEN IM SINGING" !!!!

I came here to watch Nathan Lane again, but when they focused on Robin Williams it just broke my heart. Still, I was laughing like a hyena with Nathan’s jokes a second later

Nathan Lane has a great pair of legs!

Nathan Lane was “in the closet” in this?? 😹😹 Seriously, especially in the 90’s, he could’ve easily came out. I’m glad he played humble tho because he didn’t want his personal life to overshadow this movie. Nathan Lane is such a gem. He’s a pure diva in this and he’s killing it! I love him!

I just did some quick research on the dancers Robin was citing, and he was actually spot on for all of them, albeit applying his own comedic interpretation, which was another sign of his comedic genius.

"Sweetie, you're wasting your gum." This one line, more than any other, in this film, makes me LAUGH! Every. Single. Time. And sometimes, like now, I keep laughing, afterward.

Excellent acting and scene with Robin Williams. I remember seeing this in promo's. Nathan Lane was also good as well. They both worked well together.

This movie was so funny, Gene Hackman in drag I did not even recognize him; I must’ve left for two weeks. Every time I remember the scene when I realize that Jin Gene Hackman was who he was that’s so funny.😂

Imagine if Albert met Dr. Frankenstein from Rocky Horror Picture Show and both judge each other on appearance.

@0:34 There's something so dreamy and mysterious about the chromatically descending bass piano notes. (I think the run starts from the note B1 on the piano and runs down chromatically till Bb0) Those are usually either entirely missing from the other versions of the song I've heard; or not as fluidly performed.
