27 yrs ago I saw the brilliant musical #Falsettos on Broadway. It was beautiful, transcendent in its groundbreaking. It helped inform my own journey. So thrilled to be sitting in the audience 2nite at @CTGLA @FalsettosBway to look back & to dream ahead.

Are you a fan of musicals? William Finn's "Falsettos" is back, visiting L.A. on national tour. It's a show that puts the everyday into song - every word of it. The disagreements, the negotiations, the loving. #LAThtr #FalsettosBWay #LATimes #CTGLA
