Falsettos

“Learning love is not a crime”

Director James Lapine and writer William Finn revive their humorous and poignant story of the perfectly imperfect Malvin, a father torn between his family and his sexuality amid the devastating AIDS crisis.

Nominated for five Tony Awards, Falsettos was captured live at the Walter Kerr Theatre, New York, in 2016, and stars Christian Borle, Andrew Rannells, Stephanie J. Block and Brandon Uranowitz.

Reviews

The New York Times

"By the conclusion of this exceptional production, we feel the dizzying sense of having heard a bounty of such stories, and yet they have been so tightly knit together that they feel like one uninterrupted song, a song that I would be happy to listen to forever."
The Hollywood Reporter

"...the characters are so fresh, the writing so emotionally insightful and the situations played with such feeling that Falsettos hasn't aged a day."
