Set in a stylish New York City apartment, Michael, an affluent, thirty-year-old gay man has invited five friends to his stylish New York City apartment for a birthday party honouring their gay Jewish friend, Harold. After the drinks are poured and the music turned up, the evening slowly exposes the fault-lines beneath their friendships and the self-inflicted heartache that threatens their solidarity. As the evening comes to a close, Michael challenges his guests to play a party game he has devised. What will the game reveal and will it end as he intended?
A true theatrical game-changer, The Boys in the Band helped spark a revolution by putting gay men’s lives onstage — unapologetically and without judgement – in a world that was not yet willing to fully accept them. It premiered Off-Broadway in 1968, and was revived on Broadway for its 50th anniversary in 2018.
“I was rapt; barely noticed the time pass. Parties that go wrong are often the stuff of great drama.”
– Kate Kellaway, The Observer
“Fifty years of changes makes Mart Crowley’s THE BOYS IN THE BAND all the more intriguing.”
– Michael Dale, Broadway World
