Episode description
Ah young love! Very, very young love - Val (Dan Futterman) and Barbara (Calista Flockhart) want to get married but, they've got some problems (aside from their ages). Barbara's father (Gene Hackman) is Sen. Keeley, the co-founder of the Coalition for Moral Order and Val's father (Robin Williams), Armand is a gay nightclub owner. When a scandal breaks along with the nuptial news, Mrs Keeley (Diane Wiest) suggests a wedding could distract the masses. Val returns home to construct a deception, starting with sending his mother, the Starina of the club, Albert (Nathan Lane) away. If only Armand can get Val's birth mom, Katherine (Christine Baranski) to come thru and complete the illusion. With the tabloids hot on the trail, emotions are high, the help, Agador (Hank Azaria) is no help and hijinks ensue in The Birdcage, this week on Doom Generation.
