The Boys in the Band (2018 revival)

Joe Mantello’s spectacular, multi-Tony Award-winning 2018 Broadway revival of Mart Crowley’s landmark drama 'The Boys in the Band' brought a thrilling, historically monumental precision to the Booth Theatre to mark the play's 50th anniversary. Set inside a sleek Upper East Side apartment, the narrative tracks a group of gay men who gather for a raucous birthday party, collapsing into an emotionally savage crucible of repressed self-hatred, secrets, and trauma when their host forces them to participate in a cruel telephone game. Produced by Ryan Murphy, this historic staging made commercial history by casting an entirely openly gay ensemble, starring Jim Parsons, Zachary Quinto, Matt Bomer, and Andrew Rannells.
