Why The Boys in the Band Has Matt Bomer Feeling Optimistic – E! Online

If the all-star cast of Netflix’s The Boys in the Band got you believing it has to do with a rowdy, naughty group of gay buddies (for some, enthusiasts) who invest their nights babbling and satirizing each other, you’re not technically incorrect. 

Starring Jim Parsons, Zachary Quinto, Matt Bomer, Andrew Rannells, Tuc Watkins, Robin de Jesús, Michael Benjamin Washington, Charlie Carver and Brian Hutchison, the brand-new Ryan Murphy-produced film is an adjustment of Mart Crowley‘s 1968 play, a depends-who-you-ask questionable piece made into a movie in 1970 and later on turned into a Tony-winning Broadway production in 2018. 

The story occurs throughout one night as Michael (Parsons) hosts a really tense birthday celebration for Harold (Quinto). Directed by Joe Mantello, the brand-new movie provides lots of camp: There’s an enjoyable dance series, dubious one-liners, and sculpted six-pack abs.

But it likewise checks out the pity, self-hatred and tough intricacies that feature being a gay guy, especially in the 1960s, prior to the HIV/AIDS epidemic happened and long prior to LGBTQ+ neighborhoods started to experience some equality.
