Falsettos is a musical with a book by William Finn and James Lapine, and music and lyrics by Finn. The musical consists of March of the Falsettos and Falsettoland, the last two installments in one trio of one-act Off-Broadway musicals. FALSETTOS revolves around the life of a charming, intelligent, neurotic gay man named Marvin, his wife, lover, about-to-be-Bar-Mitzvahed son, their psychiatrist, and the lesbians next door. It’s a hilarious and achingly poignant look at the infinite possibilities that make up a modern family… and a beautiful reminder that love can tell a million stories.

Founded in 1998, the Trevor Project is the leading national organization providing crisis intervention and suicide prevention services to lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer & questioning (LGBTQ) young people under 25.

The cast is comprised of Scott Baird of Rockaway as Mendel, Tracey Lynne Haskell of Garwood as Charlotte, Jeffrey Fiorello of Montclair as Marvin, Justin Roth of Ringwood as Jason, Corey Chichizola of Paramus as Whizzer, Tina Kaye of Middletown as Trina and Samantha Kaplan of Montville as Cordelia.
