FALSETTOS

by William Finn & James Lapine

Directed by Adrian Goldman

The double Tony Award-winning, Drama-Desk winning Falsettos is a hilarious and poignant look at a modern family revolving around the life of a gay man Marvin, his wife, his lover, his soon to be bar mitzvahed son, their psychiatrist, and Marvin’s lesbian neighbours. Set in and created in New York during the AIDS crisis of the 1980s, it speaks of finding and accepting your identity and of confronting life and death. It is buoyant and satirical, heartbreaking and sardonic. Falsettos is the first mainstream musical with gay people at its core, and the first one to confront AIDS.

The cast of this production is extremely international, from three parts of the globe and includes professional actors. The director is the semi-professional Adrian Goldman. It is performed in English with supertitles.
