Falsettos
Book by William Finn and James Lapine
Music and Lyrics by William Finn
Directed by Freddie Ashley
March 23 – April 28, 2019
Love can tell a million stories.
When Marvin leaves his wife Trina for a guy named Whizzer, they all determine to salvage something
from the resulting fallout to form a new kind of family. Throw in a lovesick psychiatrist, a precocious
thirteen year-old and two lesbians from next door and you get the story of a modern family learning to
navigate the stress of family dinners, the pressure of planning the perfect bar mitzvah and the
heartbreak of saying goodbye. With a Tony-winning score by William Finn, Falsettos is a landmark
musical about how we love, live and grow.
