A Messy Gay Dinner Party Turns Chaotic in Netflix's 'Boys in the Band'

'The Boys in the Band' is headed to Netflix!

Ryan Murphy has assembled an all-star cast of LGBTQ+ folk for Netflix's upcoming adaption of The Boys in the Band. 

Originally a controversial 1968 stageplay about the messy lives of gay men, The Boys was adapted into a groundbreaking film in 1970. Murphy revived the Broadway show in 2018, won a couple of Tony Awards, and now the film is set to premiere next month on Netflix.

"A group of gay men gather for a birthday party in 1968 New York City, only to find the drinks and laughs interrupted when a visitor from the host’s past turns the evening upside down," the official logline reads. Jim Parsons will star in the film alongside Zachary Quinto, Matt Bomer, Andrew Rannells, Charlie Carver, Robin de Jesús, Brian Hutchison, Michael Benjamin Washington, and Tuc Watkins.

Directed by Joe Mantello, the official description reads, "In 1968 New York City - when being gay was still considered to be best kept behind closed doors - a group of friends gather for a raucous birthday party hosted by Michael (Jim Parsons), a screenwriter who spends and drinks too much, in honor of the sharp-dressed and sharp-tongued Harold (Zachary Quinto). Other partygoers include Donald (Matt Bomer), Michael’s former flame, now mired in self-analysis; Larry (Andrew Rannells), a randy commercial artist living with Hank (Tuc Watkins), a school teacher who has just left his wife; Bernard (Michael Benjamin Washington), a librarian tiptoeing around fraught codes of friendship alongside Emory (Robin de Jesús), a decorator who never holds back; and a guileless hustler (Charlie Carver), hired to be Harold’s gift for the night. What begins as an evening of drinks and laughs gets upended when Alan (Brian Hutchison), Michael’s straight-laced college roommate, shows up unexpectedly and each man is challenged to confront long-buried truths that threaten the foundation of the group’s tight bond."

The Boys in the Band premieres September 30 on Netflix!
