Description

The return to the stage of one of Broadway's greatest hits!<p> New York, 1968. In his elegant Upper East Side apartment, Michael is hosting his friend Harold's birthday party. One by one, eight friends, all gay like himself, arrive, and the party begins, filled with laughter, biting remarks, and self-deprecation. In an era when homosexuality remains criminalized, this intimate gathering takes on a more intense dimension, the air of a clandestine refuge. While Harold is late, the arrival of an unexpected guest brings old resentments and secrets buried since their youth to the surface. A funny, fierce, and profoundly human drama unfolds in a confined space.</p><p> The Boys in the Band, a lively, witty, often comical, sometimes cruel human comedy, far removed from clichés and stereotypes, helped to revolutionize the attitudes of its time. This new adaptation, faithful to the spirit of Mart Crowley's original work, enhanced by minimalist staging and an immersive musical atmosphere, plunges the viewer back into the vibrant atmosphere of the 1960s and 70s, marking the return to the stage of one of Broadway's greatest hits.</p>
