The Boys in the Band are back in a new Netflix film based on Mart Crowley’s landmark 1968 play. Two years ago the Broadway production of the story about a group of gay and bisexual men, who despite the booze-induced sniping and nasty parlor games are each other’s found family, won the Tony Award for Best Revival of a Play.
Now the first trailer for the film (out September 30), with its all-star cast of out men from that production, has dropped. And the film from producer Ryan Murphy and directed by Joe Mantello (who directed it on Broadway) captures the vintage fashion, language, and dance moves of the time.
