I remember as a boy sneaking down the stairs to watch this in the Audition rehe arsal tech week opening night and cast party theatrelife shirt  of the night. My thinking at the time was “this is me, I am like them, I am like all of them.” It helped me survive my teen years and my military father. For all the haters of this play, know it helped bring comfort to some. I will be seeing The Boys in the Band with my Husband next Saturday Afternoon May 12 with a great friend and his wife. We have moved forward, but we must not let the future forget where we were. I’m surprised this is being  revived.
