“Falsettos”: U-M Basement Arts
Apr. 5 & 6. Naomi Parr & Caleb Middleton direct fellow U-M students in William Finn and James Lapine’s 1992 Tony-winning musical, a mixture of comedy and pathos exploring changes in the tenor of gay life brought about by the arrival of AIDS. The play is a meld of two earlier works: March of the Falsettos, a 1981 farce about a merry-go-round of relationships begun when a man leaves his wife and son for a male lover, and Falsettoland, a 1991 play about the lives of the same group of characters when one of the men is diagnosed with AIDS. 7 p.m. (Fri. & Sat.) & 11 p.m. (Fri.), U-M Walgreen Drama Center Studio 1, 1226 Murfin.
