“There’s hardly a moment in the exhilarating, devastating revival of the musical that doesn’t approach, or even achieve, perfection” (New York Times)

Join us for a screening of the five-time Tony nominated musical Falsettos, captured live by Live From Lincoln Center during its revival in 2016. Directed by legendary Broadway director James Lapine who co-wrote the book with William Finn, the show’s composer and lyricist, and starring Christian Borle (two-time Tony winner), Andrew Rannells (two-time Tony nominee), Stephanie J. Block (two-time Tony nominee), Brandon Uranowitz (two-time Tony nominee), Anthony Rosenthal, Tracie Thoms, and Betsy Wolfe, the musical tells the story of a gay man, his wife, lover, about-to-be-Bar-Mitzvahed son, their psychiatrist, and the lesbian couple next door in a profoundly funny and poignant look at what makes a modern family.

Life on the Stage series is presented in partnership with The Actors Fund, a national human services organization that helps everyone- performers and those behind the scenes- who work in performing arts and entertainment. Programs include social services and emergency financial assistance, health care and insurance counseling, housing, and employment and training services www.actorsfund.org.
