Dear, sweet Clint, I hope your day is moving along far more smoothly than its rude awakening. Hopefully, there is at least a modicum off eye candy among those making the noise.

Dear, sweet Clint, I hope your day is moving along far more smoothly than its rude awakening. Hopefully, there is at least a modicum off eye candy among those making the noise. Not a rainbow icon correction this time, but a note that The Boys in the Band opened OFF-Broadway in its original commercial production, at the 55th Street Playhouse. It wasn't until its 50th anniversary in 2018 that a revival opened on Broadway, the same production that was filmed for Netflix with the same cast of openly-gay actors.
Thank you, dear friend. Sadly, I haven’t seen any eye candy in this bunch. Some nice cars in the bunch, but I don’t really care much about cars.
As for TBITB, thank you for the clarification. The source I found the info has been known to get it wrong and remembering back to the film, you are 100% correct. Think I might need to finally watch the Netflix version. Cuz…the original film was jarring when I first watched it in college. Cheers!
I've had a long association with the play: as a 17 year-old, I ushered for a few nights at the original; was disturbed by the slow pacing and sheer negativity of the first film with its attendant internalized homophobia; directed a production on a university campus with local professionals to interpolate moments of physical affection among friends; saw the Broadway production in previews where seasoned professionals talked through laughs (!), while the audience hooted at the most hateful lines.
I'm sure the great director, Joe Montell had pages of notes from the preview performance I saw; he led the new film which I was very taken with and recommend you see. Montello found the love among the drunken party barbs in the film. Please see what you think.

That's an incredible association, Fred. Thank you for sharing. Might need to pick your brain more about it and other theatre things. Cheers!
Oops,Clint, the director was Joe Mantello. That misspelling was a typo.
