Show Description:
The groundbreaking comic drama
The Boys in the Band
, celebrating its 50th Anniversary, will appear on Broadway for the first time ever in a strictly limited 15-week engagement his spring.
Mart Crowley
’s landmark 1968 play centers on a group of gay men who gather in a NYC apartment for a friend’s birthday party. 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.
A true theatrical game-changer,
The Boys in the Band
helped spark a revolution by putting gay men’s lives onstage – unapologetically and without judgment – in a world that was not yet willing to fully accept them.

REVIEWS
Certainly director
Joe Mantello
’s smashing production of Crowley’s dark comedy, about the once-insular world of gay men in New York, sustains a savage humor from start to finish. More surprising, perhaps, is that the actors, under Mantello’s exquisite direction, probe the tender spots in Crowley’s time capsule of a play with a sensitivity that resonates even now, as the play celebrates its 50th birthday. (Harold is turning a mere 33.)
“The Boys in the Band”
is something of a bedrock of gay drama. When it was first produced off-Broadway in 1968 it was a succès de scandale. Critics admired it, but poked and prodded at it as if it were a strange, alien experience to see the lives of gay men depicted in such uncompromising terms. (As indeed it was.)
CONTINUE READING THE BROADWAY NEWS REVIEW
The impact of "Boys," written pre-AIDS crisis and only a year before the Stonewall uprising, goes well beyond period piece, It has often been noted that the current cast consists entirely of proudly openly gay men, most with notable careers in television, film and stage. And the world, of course, has changed in its acceptance of any number of LGBT issues. But some of that acceptance is tenuous — consider a couple of cases coming to the Supreme Court this fall. If
"The Boys in the Band"
does anything, it points out the reality that change can be fleeting, that nothing in the politics of sexual identity is certain.

*****5 STARS
Parsons, in the most difficult role, offers a searing portrait of self-loathing that defies us to confine it to the comfort of a period piece. At its most effective, Mantello’s
The Boys in the Band
moves beyond the gay past and stares the present straight in the face. We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the mirror.
