Overview

A sequel to March of the Falsettos, this off-Broadway hit finds neurotic but lovable Marvin, his lover Whizzer, his ex-wife Trina, her husband Mendel, and their son Jason – along with the lesbians from next door – growing up as AIDS and Jason's Bar Mitzvah loom around the corner. With wit, charm and humor, Falsettoland explores a modern American family as they wrestle with love, loss and change.

Falsettoland was later paired with its prequel, March of the Falsettos, and presented on Broadway as the two-act musical Falsettos.
