I lived in Manhattan in 1981, met my husband that year. We lived through the AIDS drama of real life on the Upper West Side. This show speaks to me on So many different levels. Saw this production on Broadway shortly after it opened. Crazy, Intense, Wonderful . Just like it was in 1990 as Falsettoland at the Lucille Lortel, and when it first moved to Broadway as Falsettos in 1992. Saw the original casts of each, and each production multiple times (1 time with Mandy Patinkin as Marvin), saw the road companies that came to Philadelphia........etc...lol Freakin Love this Show. ❤❤❤

[@wallace25859]

you got to see Mandy Patinkin's Marvin?? Was he as good as my mom told me he was??

[@christhegoblin9802]

my falsettos experience : -came for Christian Borle (did not disappoint, I'm hyper fixated lemme be!). -got nervous because he was acting like a meanie. -stayed for the gay guys. (cutie patooties) -laughed at a few jokes and made it to act 2 thinking ''you know this is funny lemme just finish instead of going to bed'' -started screaming at the gay guy falling knowing I wont be happy in about 30 minutes. -I was right 30 minutes later I was indeed not happy. -been sobbing for the remainder of the day. (its already tomorrow since I went to bed crying) -10/10 recommend would watch again.

I didn't expect that to be so gut wrenching. The cast is disgustingly talented.

[@riftgift]

man. I was the lighting designer for a production of this show last winter and it remains my proudest moment, ever, in any regard. I was Really REALLY mentally ill over this show in middle and high school, and if you'd told younger me I would one day be working on a production of it, I'd have passed out. not really sure what my point is here, but this show means the world to me, and it's an odd (but good) feeling to know you're living the things your younger self could barely dream of :)

And he’d pat the seat or something the same way so this just really reminds me. And it’d make me cry more, I’d yell cry, “WHY? WHY DO I HAVE TO SIT! I CAN HEAR YOU JUST THE SAME STANDING” and it always hurt but I had to, and actually, this wasn’t that far in the past this still happens and I don’t know what to do about it.
