The return of everyone’s favorite musical about lesbians, gay men, an ex-wife, their child and a straight psychiatrist! When Marvin leaves Trina for Whizzer, everyone’s life goes into a tailspin. But no one is more confused about it all than Trina and Marvin’s son Jason. To the rescue comes Trina’s psychiatrist Mendel and of course the friendly “lesbians from next door,” Dr. Charlotte and Cordelia. Since the premier of its first act “March of the Falsettos” in 1981 through its triumphant debut on Broadway in 1992 to today, Falsettos has been making audiences laugh and cry for almost three decades. The Rhino’s production of Falsettos is helmed by the incomparable Hector Correa, directing his first Rhino production since 2001’s Sirena, Queen of the Tango.
