About Falsettos
Falsettos, with music and lyrics by William Finn, and book by William Finn and James Lapine, is s seamless pairing of March of the Falsettos and Falsettosland , acclaimed off Broadway musicals written nearly a decade apart. Falsettos won 1992 Tony Awards for best book and musical score. It is the jaunty tale of Marvin who leaves his wife and young son to live with another man. His ex-wife marries his psychiatrist, and Marvin ends up alone, except for his good friends "the lesbians from next door." Two years later, Marvin is reunited with his lover on the eve of his son’s bar mitzvah, just as AIDS is beginning its insidious spread. A CENTERstage Production directed by Kevin Archambault with musical direction by James Fitzwilliam and stage managed by Donna Betts. Photos by Jen Kiaba.
