FALSETTOS
🎭 A Radical Love Story
📅 July 23–26 & July 30–August 2
🕗 8:00 PM
⛪ Irvine United Congregational Church 🌈
Falsettos is a bold, tender, and deeply human musical that explores family, love, and identity in all their messy, beautiful complexity. ❤️
Set at the intersection of chosen family and biological ties, the story follows Marvin, his ex-wife, his son, his lover, and the community that forms around them as they navigate relationships, responsibility, and what it means to truly show up for one another. With wit, vulnerability, and a soaring score 🎶, Falsettos captures the joy and heartbreak of loving imperfectly—and loving anyway.
Set in the late 1970s and early 1980s against the emerging AIDS crisis, the musical becomes not only an intimate portrait of family, but also a moving reflection on mortality, community, and the urgency of connection. 🕯️ Its themes remain strikingly relevant today.
At The Wayward Artist, we are drawn to stories that center queer lives 🌈, challenge traditional notions of family, and honor the courage it takes to live authentically. Falsettos embodies that spirit with humor, honesty, and profound compassion, inviting audiences to laugh, ache, and reflect on how we care for one another in the face of change, loss, and hope.
Both playful and devastating, Falsettos is a celebration of chosen family, resilience, and the radical act of love. ✨
