Synopsis

Hilarious, heartbreaking, and utterly unique, Falsettos is a contemporary musical set at the beginning of the AIDS epidemic, exploring love and its consequences. When Marvin leaves his wife and son to be with his lover, their world is upended, but amidst the chaos, new bonds form and redefine what family can be. Falsettos is a tribute to the messy and beautiful connections that hold us together—through baseball games, bar mitzvahs, and the unexpected twists of life.
