In 2018, Mart Crowley's seminal drama about gay life, The Boys in the Band, made its Broadway debut 50 years after premiering off-Broadway. The Tony-winning production has now been adapted for the screen by director Joe Mantello, who brought his entire Broadway cast — Matt Bomer, Charlie Carver, Robin de Jesús, Brian Hutchison, Jim Parsons, Zachary Quinto, Andrew Rannells, Michael Benjamin Washington, and Tuc Watkins — to Netflix for this film adaptation.

Here, Mantello and his company discuss the importance of the work and what audiences can expect when they watch the movie.
