Falsettos Review at Metropolitan School of Arts
The stage version of Falsettos by Finn and Lapine, split into two linked works, explores love and family amid late 20th century AIDS fears. Marvin’s departure, gay themes, and a minimal spoken dialogue drive a wordy musical with diverse scores and a hopeful, if tense, resolution.

Falsettos production features at Metropolis School stage
A review of Falsettos with performances at 8 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Sunday, tickets $15, call numbers 475-5414 or 800-475-2430. The operatic score blends samba tango ragtime and swing with clever irony and poignant moments. Trina is played by Robin Carruthers, Marvin by Peter Irwin, Whizzer by David Sisco, Mendel by Randy Miller, with Jonathon Linaberry alternating as the 12 year old son. The production shows strong voices and striking stage business, though direction sometimes overemphasizes movement, derailing word clarity at times.
