Talking About The Boys in the Band 

I never watched or even heard about boys in the band until the movies came on Netflix (today). I’m very glad I found this

I really hope that a version of this play is filmed for those of us who aren't in america will be able to see this amazing cast and show.

Would you believe I saw the play in London in 1969? I was 17 and very much in the closet. Well, not anymore honey! These actors look great for the parts they will play. Ryan Murphy, film this for TV, Please!

Don’t miss this play. From 1968 Boston to 2018 New York and I remember all the lines. Marvelous and tremendous Please don’t miss this performance

I liked Zachary Quinto,Tuk Watkins and Jim person's performance. They are just extraordinary in this movie.

That is a whole lot of talented actors, who are “out and proud”... and most of us will not be able to see it, because it is a play on Broadway... I am stuck in South Africa, with no means of getting to New York City, and then affording a Broadway ticket. One of the worst aspects of the internet (for me personally at least), is reading/seeing/hearing about the great things I will not be able to witness. I know it will not happen, but I will still hope for recording of it.

JIM PARSONS 😍😍😍

Please film this one!

I'm crying and I need this in my life

andrew rannells is at 1:33

I really hope I get a chance to see this play on Broadway!!

I CAN'T BELIEVE THE PLAY I SAW 2 YEARS AGO TURNED OUT TO BE AN ACTUAL MOVIE ...... I AM SO HAPPY I WAS ONE OF THE PEOPLE THAT SAW THEM LIVE ........ IT IS LIKE I WAS ALREADY IN THE MOVIE JUST BY JUST WATCHING THEM ON STAGE 😁😁😁

I see Zachary Quito... I go all SPOCK SPOCK SPOCK!!!!

i found out about this like 5 minutes ago, and I'm already looking forward to it

IS THIS A CAST OR WHAT??? I agree that this should be filmed for all who wish to see it. That being said - I already have my ticket for the Saturday of Pride Weekend. Can't wait!!!!!

I love this show so much. I’ve unfortunately only seen the movie, but I’m dying to see this play!

Yess I cannot waitt, it will come on 30 of this September on netflix, GET HYPED Y’ALL

God I wish I could see this. I think this should be filmed, it's important to show this to everyone.

Matt Bomer is a phenomenal actor. Can you believe that him and Neal from White Collar are the same man?

0:07 Matt 😭😭

I wish so much that I could watch this on Broadway 😭

I’m so excited for this to premiere on Netflix!!!🎉🎉😁

I know that the Original Cast Members must be looking down in heaven and be thrilled beyond words. I wonder if Lawrence Luckinbill (Original Hank) saw The Play. He was also on Search For Tomorrow and Matt Bomer (Donald) was on it's sister show Guiding Light.

Matt Bomer 😍

please film it this is a show that everyone needs to and deserves to see its too important

Love all of you for reviving this!! It's dated, but it's needed to be seen, Everyone needs to know what my generation did so you could live the life you live now. Entitled young pigs! I suffered to get where you are today! Thank you would be nice!!!!!!!!

A beautiful film

OMG Larry, a fashion photographer who prefers multiple sex partners. Hank, Larry's live-in boyfriend who has been married to a woman from whom he is separated and is divorcing. He "passes" as straight and disagrees with Larry on the issue of monogamy. This is Falsettos basicly!! Hank is Marvin and Larry is Whizzer. Which is funny because Andrew was just in Falsettos as Whizzer!

"I keep my weed in a Band-aid Box in my medicine cabinet, Darling "

I’m dying to see this!!!! Gotta find a way to afford it!!!!

I bought my ticket a few weeks ago!! AHH I’M SO EXCITED

I love this movie😻😻😻

On Netflix now.. Fabulous.

I hope we may get clips from this show please if possible :)

Tuc Watkins is so bloody damn hot!

What a cast OUAW !

I love the reprise of the movie. They did well.

I hope the film version shows at my local theater here in Arkansas. Cinemark and the powers that be in the film marketing industry seem to think there is no audience for a film like this in the rural, conservative south. But there definitely, definitely is.

So glad robin de jesus has found more work. ive seen him on law and order and that camp movie.

Damn, I hope I can get tickets for this....when are tickets available????

I saw it in 1959 or possibly 1960. I'd never seen a play where the audience was laughing and crying, sometime at the same time. I was in junior college at the time and we did have gay students but they all kept it a secret, many of them even to each other. One guy didn't make a deal of it but also did not make a secret of it. He did okay, being on Student Council and freshman vice president, becoming editor of the campus paper sophomore year when it won its first and only top national rating from Columbia University, and with four other students (count 'em four) breaking the social barriers between black and white students without the behind-the-scenes help of our wonderful college president, who said, "I have $5,000 to spend by June or we don't get it next year. It is yours." We did not disappoint him.

Please please please film it - Just watched the movie for the first time and it was alternately uncomfortable, disturbing and hilarious. I was surprised by how relevant it still was, and how edgy. I really would love to see this version!

I wish I could see this :(

Crowley's The Boys n the Band is one of the most important LGBTQ plays. Though it show the neurosis of gays in the late 1960s , it is also such a positive portrait of extended family. I had the pleasure of playing the role of Michael in my university years as well as directing it twice for small community theatre production. It is a play very dear to my heart. . My 30s was very much like the character of Michael. I was dealing with the tragic loss of my husband to cancer, fishing up a double MM degree with mounting student loan debt and living above my means with panic attacks and breaking and healing up the damage from homophobic family and toxicity of Christian Church. I never get tired of examining this play, teaching it to my students and seeing fresh reinventions .. Ryan Murphy has always been one of my favorite directors and I have been fortunate to see some of his on location filming as I live in Long Beach where parts of the Versace Assassination , Monster etc were filmed. I really enjoyed overall the remake for netflix and Murphy's choices .. though I did catch Jim Parson pronouncing the double ll in the world cedllla .. Small mistake. I thought the cast worked well. And I always applaud Ryan Murphy for really bringing LGBTQ stories to life. POSE is def. the best series.. and was def. our lives in those years. I can't wait to see what Ryan does with A Chorus Line. . also since I have performed the roll of Bobby. Great cast for Boys... though I still prefer the iconic original cast.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE tape this!

aahhhhhh un Scavo está aquí!

So I guess Sheldon is playing Michael since he was the only one without the name display. Quinto is perfect for Harold!!!

Well, good news, this play will be film as a special movie with this cast by Netflix

loved to have seen more of Harold in the 2020 remake of T.B.I.T.B., he imitates his mother...lets have a salad.. I near wet myself, t was so unexpected .How Jim Parsons keeps the dialogue and roller coaster of emotions at such level was impressive his range wow, acting chops,left me breathless. Zachary Quinto part loved it not realising at this stage that a lot of his dialogue had been left out possibly to showboat Jim Parsons the original 1970s Mart Crowley film goes deeper into each personality regardless of dialogue each actor has, the Cowboy, we've all known someone like that! enjoyed the balance and realised the story is about these two powerful egos and personalities hold this family in tact.They are the infrastructure of their world to run too for love friendship and harsh repremandings, the love is there in Harolds soft I'll call you tomorrow. Why does Harold trigger Michael? No one has touched on it. Harold walks in Michael late, stoned aware he looks fabulous.Michael already knows this about Harold .Michael mentions age,hair loss often preening himself Did you notice his sweater change, the same colour as was it to outdo Harold? Velvet Green(2020) smoking Jacket, the nuances are subtle. The Original makes for excellent .viewing maybe the song "Alfie" suited the ride in the taxi the diner St Malachi's and Donald sprawled out on the couch

all these comments are from a year ago please tell me by now its available to buy and watch online! i really want to see this play and only just discovered it so im too late to see it live :(

Please film it! I am begging!

A bit of TRIVIA!The actor who played Hank in the 1970 film version (Laurence Luckinbill) was married, in real life, to Robin Strasser who played Dorian Lord on One Life to Live.The actor who plays Hank in the Broadway revival (Tuc Watkins) played Dorian Lord's husband on the soap opera.

500th subscriber! Intrigued by this play. Borrowed the play from the library.

Please film this and sell it. I want to give this to everyone I know.

that's sheldon!

Omg 😳 😱 they’re oppress too?

Robin de Jesus was good in the movie camp. That movie even has a young Anna Kendrick before she got famous

jazz

Tuc Watkins is absolutely right. cast is great...except Jim Parsons...who didn't perform the night I went! Missed you Jim.

of course Ryan Murphy is behind them.. I hope Ryan Murphy will bring Chirs Colfer to this play too

Is that....... Pistol Pete

i’m a simple girl, i see hot actors i clicked ~

Mi Matt tan guapísimo. Ojalá pudiera interpretar otros personajes. Se ha dicho que salir del clóset les cerro las puertas ...

some people down here going off on full ass rants can someone explain to me what's happening

127 days until i see it!!

Also I do Love the dialogue Im not going to deny that there is good writing dialogue I especially wanted to see Jim Parsons Play Harold becauseThe Actor in The Movie Playing Harold Reminded Me Of Jim Parsons And I Thought Jim Parsons Could Play Harold In A Remake Of The Film But Then I Saw The Full Picture And How Un-Diverse This Is And There Is A Chance To Shed Light On The toxic Inner discrimination gay men Specifically white gay men do to Gay men of Color And Transgender Women And To each other by fem shaming and using toxic masculinity fueled excuses to defend their discriminatory behavior a lot of them are turning into the heterosexual d-bag jerk jock that bullied them in high school saying "Your not a real man" that is what I think of the "mascformasc" thing which is the stupidest thing in the entire universe, There needs to be More Opportunities For People Of Color Especially LGBTQUAPI+ People Of Color To Tell THEIR STORY instead of always hearing or Seeing a white persons or white LGBTQUAP+N Being's Story ESPECIALLY TRANSGENDER WOOEMN OF COLOR WHOSE VOICES ARE OFTEN IGNORED By white gay men

I think that would be a hoot if they got a straight male actor to play the strip dancer/hustler in this work.

What a shame that Jonathan Groff wasn't in it...

The original play and movie is far superior to this remake. The main combatants in the original gave oscar worthy performances.

Where is Todrick Hall?

Mart Crowley the author is 82 god bless him - the entire original cast except for one is dead, almost all from AIDS. I think the current cast should acknowledge that AIDS still exists even if it is no longer as deadly.

bla bla bla and then we go into the streets and never smile to anybody because we are very frustrated

I always wonder if Zach Quinto is as mean as he looks.

Does someone know where they will be staying in NYC?

a basket of fruits would be a better show title.

I wanna go see this on broadway cause ANDREW RANNELLS and GAY but my parents wouldn’t want to get $200 tickets for me just to stare at Andrew rannells

Shit I'm living in an anti-LGBT country and I'm still in school for public examination this year. Books are suck.All I want is flying to NY and watching this at broadway

I AM 80 AND GREW UP WITH THE ORIGINAL PLAY AND FILM...SAD TO SAY ALL OF THE ORIGINAL CAST OF THE 1970 FILM HAVE PASSED...MOST FROM AIDS....WHAT DOES THAT SAY ABOUT THE LACK OF ATTENTION THAT AIDS RECEIVED BACK THEN. .WE HAVE PROGRESSED FROM THE HORRIBLE FIFTIES, SIXTIES, ETC THANKS TO FINE FILMS LIKE "IT"S MY PARTY AND OF COURSE "PHILADELPHIA"...BUT STILL THERE IS MUCH BIAS REGARDING GAYS AND LESBIANS..IT IS JUST MUCH QUIETER...BUT STILL THERE...LIKE AIDS IS STILL THERE...

The only way to make Mart Crowley's play work now is to rewrite it. Crowley himself says that he still thinks that the way his men were portrayed is how gay men are. A small hysterical segment perhaps, and particularly if they are messed up by religion. But most gay men I know are in long term supportive and highly functional relationships - unlike the characters in Crowley's play. I hope he uses the money for therapy and stops despising himself.

No no no you telling me that things have not changed with in the homosexual our community of today stop the hype things have changed and you know they have your movie isBeautiful to watch to observed to be part of being amongst don’t put us back in the 70s 70s

Nine gay men in one place. Somewhere Mike Pence is hiding in his closet.

it is still the same because true homophobia is internslisex

where the gay asians at??? hmmmm

This play was certainly a kind of revolution in the 1960s, because the topic was a tabu. The cast also varies, sure there are different men, but the stereotypes of gay men are dominating the play. I can not see such ... anymore. The gay scene does not suit all gay guys and some people who are gay can not always handle the clichés there. The play should disappear in the museum because it manifests the prejudices against gays. There is not a community or a family, because the fact that some men are loving another man, sorry for this realization of life.

Such a big lose for women!

It’s freakin Whiteville. Where’s the diversity people?

Agree with you all.....times have changed.....maybe looking at this.....seek medical movements to see if this gene can be fixed......now that times have changed. For the ones that do not like being gay. Others God made you this way and good for you that you have accepted it.

Hey Zach, if you want to go forward, vote Trump! He was a gay supporter long before the Democrat posers!!!
