Preview: Season 42 Episode 2 | 30s

Meet America's original "modern family" in this musical theater landmark.

Nominated for five 2017 Tony® Awards, including Best Revival of a Musical, this razor-sharp portrait of family dynamics revolves around the life of a gay man, his wife, his lover, his disaffected son, their psychiatrist, and the lesbians next door. Starring Christian Borle, Stephanie J. Block and Andrew Rannells, Falsettos offers a hilarious, ultimately heartbreaking look at a turbulent time.
