Falsettos is a sung-through musical with a book written by William Finn and James Lapine. This is strictly about the 2016 revival. However, there will be references to "in trousers" and the rest of the 'Marvin trilogy' back in the 80s.
Throughout the musical, the main character, Marvin, tries to be a 'traditional man.' But, in actuality, He's been marching in one place as a falsetto. The first act explores the impact Marvin's relationship with Whizzer has had on his family. The second act explores family dynamics that evolve as he and his wife plan his son's bar mitzvah. Central to the musical are Jewish identity, gender roles, and gay life in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
