Book by William Finn and Jampes Lapine

Music and Lyrics by William Finn

Hilarious, heartbreaking and utterly unique, Falsettos is a contemporary musical about family, relationships, bar mitvahs, baseball and AIDS. When Marvin leaves his wife Trina and son Jason to be with his lover Whizzer, tempers flare, problems escalate and everyone learns to grow up.

CHARACTERS:

MARVIN: Male-identified character, 30s, Jewish. A devoted husband and father, smart, funny, and charming. Struggles to reconcile his desire for a happy traditional family with his love for Whizzer. High baritone.

TRINA: Female-identified character, 30s, Jewish. Wife to Marvin, Mother to Jason. Charmingly neurotic in her effort to understand the conflicting feelings she has in the aftermath of her divorce. She consults Mendel, her husband’s psychiatrist and eventually marries him. Soprano/belt.

MENDEL: Male-identified character, 30s, Jewish. Marvin’s psychiatrist who marries Trina and enters into the tumultuous world of her life with her son, her ex, and her ex’s lover while struggling with his own feelings. The neurotic peacemaker. High baritone.

JASON: Male-identified character, to play 13 years old, Jewish. Marvin’s and Trina’s son. Bookish and awkward. Jason’s impending Bar Mitzvah, his parents’ divorce, and the entrance of Whizzer into his life leave him confused, angry and trying to sort it all out. Tenor.

CHARLOTTE: Female-identified character, 30s. One of the “lesbians from next door” – Charlotte is a dedicated doctor alarmed by the mysterious illness that is killing her gay male patients. Tough, but extremely nurturing, and very much in love with her partner, Cordelia. Alto/mezzo. Plays a second role in "In Trousers".

CORDELIA: Female-identified character, 30s. The other ‘lesbian from next door’ – Cordelia is Dr. Charlotte’s partner – she runs her own kosher catering business, is very keen on making a nice home, but also wants to be useful and valued for her contribution to the world. High mezzo with strong belt. Plays a second role in "In Trousers".
