Four years ago this month, we discussed Mart Crowley's 1968 play, The Boys in the Band. (If you click on the March link under "Blog Archive" in the right-hand column of this blog, you'll find my tribute to Crowley, who died that month.) As many of you know, in 2018 the play was revived on Broadway with an all-star cast comprised entirely of out actors, directed by Joe Mantello and produced by Ryan Murphy. I'm pleased to report that a film of that production is available on Netflix starting today.
In that regard, Patrick Flynn kindly alerted me to a fascinating article about the play/movie in the current issue of New York magazine. For its part, Metro Weekly's cover story is in an interview with Mantello. And here are reviews from the New York Times and Washington Post.
