After Dark Program With March Of The Falsettos - Performence

Written in the 1980s by William Finn (author of A New Brain and 25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee), March of the Falsettos is part of a musical trilogy (In Trousers, March of the Falsettos, and Falsettoland). ABT is performing the second part of the trilogy. The play focuses on Marvin, a Jewish man, and his struggles with his family as he comes out of the closet and divorces his wife. Marvin and his younger lover, Whizzer, struggle with their romance while Marvin’s ex-wife Trina struggles to stay sane. Trina finds solace in Marvin's psychiatrist, Mendel, also Jewish. Caught in the crossfire is Marvin and Trina's ten-year-old son, Jason, who is a little too bright for his age not to see what is happening in his family. He fears that he will turn out like his father. Madness ensues!

March of the Falsettos opened at Playwrights Horizons in 1981 under the artistic direction of Andre Bishop. It was subsequently produced in New York under the direction of James Lapine. A cast recording was made on DRG Records Incorporated.

Amanda Kuchinski and Brad Rupp are directing ABT’s production, Mark 4man is serving as Musical Director, and Shawna Quain is the choreographer. The show stars Dennis Setteducati as Marvin, Amanda Kuchinski as Trina, Brad Rupp as Mendel, Seth Tucker as Jason, and Christopher Violett as Whizzer.
