A seamless pairing of March of the Falsettos and Falsettoland, acclaimed off-Broadway musicals written nearly a decade apart, Falsettos won 1992 Tony Awards for Best Book and Musical score. It is the 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. 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. With the help of their neighbors, Charlotte and Cordelia, Marvin and his entire family learn to grow up and face their future with love and dignity.
Falsettos premiered on Broadway at the John Golden Theatre on April 29, 1992, under the direction of James Lapine. March of the Falsettos, Falsettoland and an earlier chapter in the story of Marvin, In Trousers, all premiered separately off-Broadway at Playwrights Horizons. On October 27, 2016, a revival production of Falsettos opened on Broadway at the Walter Kerr Theatre, again directed by Lapine.
