MUST-SEE TV: BOYS IN THE BAND
The production features an all-gay cast and brings all the drama and intensity that first made its mark as a groundbreaking film 52 years ago.
Reassembling the cast and director of the Tony Award-winning 2018 revival, "The Boys in the Band" becomes a Netflix movie. It can't entirely shake its slightly claustrophobic stage roots, but the movie provides a stellar showcase for its actors, especially Big Bang Theory's Jim Parsons as the central provocateur. It's intense but evocative and worth watching.
