Stars in the House, the daily live streamed concert series created by Playbill correspondent and SiriusXM Broadway host Seth Rudetsky and producer James Wesley, welcomes the original cast of William Finn and James Lapine's Off-Broadway hit Falsettoland—including Tony winners Michael Rupert and Faith Prince, Tony nominee Stephen Bogardus, Danny Gerard Lanzetta, Janet Metz, Heather MacRae, and Chip Zien—May 30 at 8 PM. Watch above.
The 1990 musical Falsettoland—the final part of Finn's Marvin trilogy (In Trousers, March of the Falsettos, and Falsettoland)—centers around the planning of a bar mitzvah for Marvin and Trina's son Jason, while Marvin's lover Whizzer becomes stricken with a then-mysterious, fatal disease. Falsettoland would become the second half of the musical Falsettos (March of the Falsettos was the first act) when it opened on Broadway in 1992 with Rupert, Bogardus, MacRae, and Zien returning to the show.
New shows air daily at 2 PM and 8 PM ET, featuring performances by stars of stage and screen, in conversation and song with Rudetsky and Wesley. Streaming direction is by Peter Flynn. Click here to watch previous episodes.
