Stephen Radosh of Gay Desert Guide writes, “Ultimately, FALSETTOS is a masterclass, balancing hilarity with heartbreak while offering a deeply human story filled with flawed but lovable characters. It’s a musical that lingers long after the final note — a celebration of love in all its messy, imperfect glory. If you haven’t experienced it yet, grab a ticket (and some tissues) and let yourself be swept up in its brilliance.
“For all its humor, FALSETTOS delivers an undeniable emotional impact, particularly in the second act, as the AIDS crisis looms over the characters. The musical’s shift from comedic dysfunction to profound tragedy is seamless, leaving audiences laughing one moment and in tears the next. Songs like “What Would I Do?” are devastating in their simplicity and honesty, proving Finn’s genius in storytelling through music.”
