THE 10 BT GAY MILS OF ALL TIME

Gay-themed Broadway mils have e a long way the past fifty years. The on are the bt. * gay plays on broadway *

AdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENTCric’s NotebookIn recent shows, ias of gayns are expandg, bg and disappearg all at once.Cred...Ben WisemanI don’t know whether was bee my parents were jt generally open-md, or bee they had a specific, kdly yet mortifyg agenda, but one of the first Broadway plays they took me to, June of 1977, was way too gay for fort. The first phas of the gay play, ccial their moment, which broadly speakg enpassed the send half of the 20th century, are over.

Some, like “A Strange Loop” and “Fat Ham,” dramatize how the experience of racism amplifi that of homophobia, and vice versa.Others fy expectatns by makg sexual orientatn a distctly sendary ncern among characters who “happen to be” gay or lbian, as “A Case for the Existence of God” and “At the Weddg.” In another pair, “I’m Revoltg” and “You Will Get Sick,” that ncern isn’t even sendary, but tertiary to the pot of near visibily. When a (male) love tert enters the picture, and they sg Katy Perry’s “I Kissed a Girl” as a duet, you feel somethg new has happened, as ntroversy melts to a blissful cloud of nonbary bubble gum.This is the equalizg, homogenizg fluence of pop culture at work — an fluence that some queer people unrstandably mistst. Jackson’s “A Strange Loop” go further, makg the cross-pollatn of inty the prime source of s nflict, as the ma character nonts both the homophobia of his Black fay and the racism of his queer one.

(One of the songs is lled “Exile Gayville.”) The productn, which closed Sunday, even built tersectnaly to a marketg tagle, llg self “the big, Black, and queer-ass Great Amerin Mil for all.”ImageBlack masculy is among the them ursg through Jam Ijam’s “Fat Ham,” which ran at the Public Theater last sprg. From left, Nikki Crawford, Marcel Spears and Billy Eugene Jon will return to the show for s Broadway n.Cred...Sara Klwich/The New York TimOf those several inti, the only one “A Strange Loop” seems to feel optimistic about is the last: “Great Amerin Mil.” (It did w the Pulzer Prize.) Its body, race and orientatn issu are left a kd of stalemate that suggts what might happen if a foundatnal gay play like “The Boys the Band” (which had only one Black character) were multiplied fun hoe mirrors ad fum. That the Hamlet figure, lled Juicy, is Black and gay, wh an termtent csh on a Laert-like iend, suggts that the queer theme will domate, yet don’t; “Fat Ham” is really a play about Black masculy and, even more broadly, the vlent herance all men mt renounce.

AN EPIC NEW BROADWAY PLAY ON MORN GAY LIFE ASKS: N WE LOVE OURSELV?

Jt bee pri weekend is past don’t mean the celebratns of gay, lbian, bisexual and transgenr people on and off Broadway are over. * gay plays on broadway *

Hunter’s “A Case for the Existence of God.” Beltran portrays a gay Black man hopg to adopt the young girl he’s been fosterg.Cred...Sara Klwich/The New York TimMy other favore queer plays of the past year likewise offer no bands; their gay characters (there are still far too few lbian on) operate as if their gayns were mostly ternal and pletely irrelevant. Hunter’s heartbreakg “A Case for the Existence of God,” that turns out to be an illn, as a gay Black man, after fosterg a ltle girl for more than three years, fds his plan to adopt her undone at the last mute. If there are subtle ways which their sexual inti affect their character or behavr, they were too subtle for me; miss a le or two and you may not even know that gayns is a part of their makp at all.That mak sense plays about cris that threaten to oblerate a person entirely: genr, race, orientatn and all.

Francis, the closeted llege stunt “Gemi,” probably did; if he lived through AIDS, I expect he achieved full five-star gay privilege, plete wh marriage, children and Crate & Barrel chee boards. (Five of the ne origal st members died of AIDS.) What about the gay characters who, lackg whe sk, almost never appeared on mercial stag those supposed great gay play s?

Jt bee pri weekend is past don’t mean the celebratns of gay, lbian, bisexual and transgenr people on and off Broadway are over. The heartbreakg drama tells the bgraphil story of celebrated graphic artist Alison Bechl as she disvers her sexual orientatn while tryg to unrstand how she relat to her father -- himself a closeted gay man who ms suici four months after she out.
