Despite its enthusiasm, the musical premiere of ‘Gay Card’ delivers a losing hand
Gay Card debuted in 2017 with a studio recording featuring Broadway’s Derek Klena (Moulin Rouge, Jagged Little Pill). The musical premieres in Chicago with LGBTQ+ storefront company PrideArts, with artistic director Jay Españo at the helm, in a wildly ambitious production that misses the mark.Logan (Ben Ballmer) is an eager central Floridian who never fits in with the cool gay kids in high school.
