FALSETTOS
"FALSETTOS is about finding yourself, finding your faith, and finding your family - and how those things can be found in unlikely ways and in unlikely places," said Executive Artistic Director Daniel Thomas. "Even though the characters are of a certain time and place and identity, the beauty of the story, the book and score, make it possible for all of us to see our own journeys in them. There's laughter in the face of tears, hope in the place of despair, joy in the face of chaos. It's a beautiful show, and we're honored to have it on the Gateway stage."
Hilarious, heartbreaking and utterly unique, FALSETTOS is a contemporary musical about family, relationships, bar mitzvahs, baseball and AIDS. When Marvin leaves his wife Trina and son Jason to be with his lover Whizzer, tempers flare, problems escalate and everyone learns to grow up.
