WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
This musical is based on the true story of what happened when sex columnist Dan Savage (played by Christopher Sieber) and his boyfriend decided to create a family. Step one: Convince an adoption agency and homeless teenage mom that two gay men are the perfect parents for her child. Step two: Convince themselves. This marks The New Group's return to musical theater after producing Avenue Q, which received the Tony Award for Best New Musical in 2004.

Both Dan (Christopher Sieber) and his boyfriend Terry (Lucas[...]
